Gene & Gilda – World Premiere at Penguin Rep Theatre from August 4 – August 27

Published

on

Stony Point, NY – Penguin Rep Theatre presents the world premiere of Gene & Gilda, with performances beginning Friday August 4th at 2:00pm located at Penguin Rep Theatre, 7 Crickettown Road, Stony Point, New York.

The  Penguin’s Rep Theatre is a repurposed 1880 barn in historic Stony Point (Rockland County), New York. “The converted barn, circa 1880, has never been more inviting” (The New York Times). Says Mr. Horn, “It’s theatre so close you can feel it, with comfortable upholstered seats and no seat more than 30 feet from the stage.” The theatre is air-conditioned and handicapped accessible, features assistive hearing devices, and has plenty of free parking.

Gene Wilder (born Jerome Silberman, 1933-2016) was an actor, comedian, writer and filmmaker. He collaborated with Mel Brooks on the films The Producers (1967), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor; Blazing Saddles (1973); and Young Frankenstein (1974), which he wrote (with Brooks), and which garnered him an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay. He also starred in a series of films with Richard Pryor, including Silver Streak (1976), Stir Crazy (1980), and See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989). Wilder also directed and wrote several of his own films, including The Woman in Red (1984). For his last acting performance – a guest role on Will & Grace in 2003, he received an Emmy Award for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series.

Gilda Radner (1946-1989) was an actress, comedian, writer, and singer. She was one of the seven original cast members of the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players” on Saturday Night Live from its inception in 1975 until her departure in 1980. She won an Emmy Award for the show in 1978 and, a year later, portrayed characters developed on the series – including Roseanne Rosannadanna, Emily Litella and Baba Wawa – in Gilda Radner – Live From New York, a highly successful one-woman show on Broadway. Her SNL work established Radner as an iconic figure in the history of American comedy.

Radner met Wilder on the set of the film Hanky Panky and the two married in 1984. This play brings to life the love story of comedic legends Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner, from their first meeting to their poignant farewell. Don’t miss the intimate portrait of these beloved entertainers.
