City Lights Theater Company's video: Intro: The Next Stage: Behind the music with George Psarras

8 p.m. Friday, July 3 On stage, George Psarras has inspired us with powerful performances in The Merchant of Venice, The Elephant Man, Amadeus, and many other City Lights productions. But you may not know that when any show here moves you, George’s work is part of that. Besides being a professional actor who made his feature-film debut in Disney Pixar’s Onward this year, George is also our resident sound designer and composer. He creates the audio world that surrounds you in our intimate theater, from his haunting, original cello music for Eurydice to the Victorian streetscape of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (in which he also played Jekyll). Join us on Zoom with George at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 3, when he’ll talk about the stories behind his sound design and music for The Language Archive (2014), Build (2015) and Eurydice (2019). City Lights marketing director Rebecca Wallace will interview George in this free program, which will also include an audience Q&A. To attend, simply “buy” a free ticket through our ticketing system, and we’ll email you the Zoom details. Afterwards, we’ll archive the recording on our YouTube page.
