It’s 1958, and Jack Paar hosts the hottest late-night talk-show on television. His favorite guest? Character actor, pianist and wild card Oscar Levant. Famous for his witty one-liners, Oscar has a favorite: “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line.” Tonight, Oscar will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar’s audience—and the rest of America—won’t soon forget. GOOD NIGHT, OSCAR explores the nexus of humor and heartbreak, the ever-dwindling distinction between exploitation and entertainment, and the high cost of baring one’s soul for public consumption.

GOOD NIGHT, OSCAR is a collaborative production with the Gilmore Piano Festival.

Good Night, Oscar is presented through special arrangement with TRW PLAYS 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036. www.trwplays.com

The American Sign Language interpreted performance is on Saturday, April 18th. ASL performances are generously sponsored by Barbara Rider and Fred Sammons.

Attending the April 24th performance of Good Night, Oscar? You are invited to a complimentary champagne reception at Morrison Jewelers from 6-7pm!
