Tuesdays at the Theater continues on April 23, at 7:00 pm, with “Janet’s Class,” a documentary film by Dorothy Lyman of Andes. This film follows a group of New York City retirees through their early preparation, rehearsal, and performance of a showcase directed by veteran stage, film, and TV actress Janet Sarno. With humor and inspiration, the video looks at aging, and its opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment.
Janet Sarno appeared on Broadway opposite Danny Aiello in “Knockout,” by Louis LaRusso and off Broadway in his “Sweatshop.” Her TV credits include “All My Children,” and “The Edge of Night”. Films include “Rock the Paint,” “Reqiem, for a Dream,” “The Hard Way,” and “Power.”
Ms. Lyman lives on her chicken farm in Andes. Before moving here in 2003, she lived in Los Angeles and worked in television as an actress and director. In 2006 she produced and directed a film in Delaware County called “The Northern Kingdom.” She will be present at the showing of her film at The Open Eye Theater, 960 Main Street, Margaretville, Tuesday evening, at 7:00, and will participate in the discussion afterwards.
“Janet’s Class” was curated from the Art & Soul of the Catskills Film Festival 2012. There is no admission charge, but contributions to The Open Eye Theater roof fund will be welcomed. Reservations are advised by calling 845-586-1660 or emailing openeye@catskill.net. More information is at www.theopeneye.org.
