Friends Film Series: Me and Orson Welles - Wed., 2/8, 7:00 PM
Our films begin promptly at 7:00 PM; doors open at 6:30. The following summaries are based on imdb.com.

On Wednesday, February 8, the Friends will screen Me and Orson Welles, a 2008 film starring Zac Efron and Claire Danes.

In 1937, Richard Samuels (Efron) is a 17-year-old aspiring tespian who dreams of treading the boards on Broadway. On a day trip to New York City he stumbles across the Mercury Theatre and meets a young Orson Welles, who (following an impromptu audition) offers Richard the role of Lucius in a modern retelling of Julius Caesar that includes such Mercury Theatre stalwarts as Joseph Cotten and George Coulouris.

Welles does not believe in conventions doing whatever he wants, including not having a fixed opening date (although the unofficial opening is in one week's time). In turn, Welles realizes that his name will either be strengthened or ruined by this production. Richard, having seen Welles' behavior, has to decide if acting in this production is worth it at any cost.

Running time for Me and Orsen Welles is 114 minutes.
