    Sedona AZ (May 31, 2015) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Broadway Near You to host the big screen encore of “Driving Miss Daisy”, starring Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones.  The theatrical stage production will be featured in high definition on Thursday, June 11 at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.  There will be two shows at 4 and 7 p.m.

    Two of the world’s greatest living actors — five-time Tony Award and three-time Academy Award nominee Angela Lansbury and two-time Tony Award winner and Academy Award winner James Earl Jones — star in Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Driving Miss Daisy”.

    “Driving Miss Daisy” — shot during the play’s Australian tour, after sell-out seasons on Broadway and London’s West End — offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see two iconic Broadway and Hollywood veterans in one of the most enduring and popular stage plays of our time. The production also stars four-time Tony Award winner Boyd Gaines.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
