Galileo October 2, 2009

The revolutionary ideas of German auteur Bertolt Brecht changed the shape of modern theatre and continue to influence the imaginations of playwrights and filmmakers the world over. Written in response to Brecht's exile from Germany prior to World War II, 'Galileo' chronicles the life of the famed astronomer whose revolutionary ideas literally shook the heavens. Produced in collaboration with the Belmont Department of Theatre and Dance and featuring celebrated local performer Brian Webb Russell in the title role, 'Galileo' is a multimedia tour-de-force and a powerful look at how one man can move the world.
