About
Special introduction by producer and comedian Lewis Black! Director Gaylen Ross in attendance!
What is an actress without memory? Caris Corfman was a brilliant young actress who graduated from the Yale School of Drama with luminaries including Lewis Black, Kate Burton and Mark Linn-Baker. As a rising star, she played opposite Tim Curry and Ian McKellen in the Broadway hit play Amadeus.
Suddenly, a brain tumor caused the loss of her short-term memory. Robbed of her ability to learn, recall, and recite lines, Caris was swiftly forced to recognize that her career was over. Caris’ Peace is the story of this courageous woman’s triumphant and deeply moving return, against all odds, to the New York stage.
A portion of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to Seattle BrainWorks (a program of PROVAIL).
“Unforgettable” is a critical cliche, but there is no other way to describe the power and the pathos of Caris’ Peace -Cleveland Plain Dealer
