RYP Activities

RYP/EYP Dinner & Movie

Runs: February 10th
Times: 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Location: Dryden Theater-George Eastman House
Description: Join RYP and Eastman Young Professionals for dinner and a movie. Dinner starts at 6:30. Movie starts at 8pm.

Scorsese’s mob epic and masterpiece is a tour de force of brutality, dark comedy, and great Italian cooking that charts the rise and fall of small-time mobster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) and his cohorts Jimmy the Gent (Robert DeNiro) and Shoeshine Tommy (Joe Pesci in an Oscar®-winning performance). Deftly gliding, propulsive camerawork and an evocative period pop soundtrack (Rolling Stones, Cream, Aretha Franklin) capture the allure, decadence, and the stress of day-to-day life as a Mafia hood.

Guest speakers will include representatives from the city, county, education, and business. These community leaders will engage in a forum, to be moderated by Jennifer Leonard, president and executive director of the Rochester Area Community Foundation, which is organizing the event with Eastman House. Participants include Patti Malgieri, Rochester deputy mayor; Judy Seil, acting executive director of County of Monroe Development Agency (COMIDA); Ali Zoibi, publisher of Democrat and Chronicle; Daan Braveman, president of Nazareth College; Elaine Spaull, vice president of Rochester City Council; Jennifer Gkourlias, Rochester City School District’s director of social studies; and Malcolm “Sandy” Wolcott Jr., regional president of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank.

The “Picturing Rochester” portion of the Where We Live exhibition gathers together images from the community, illustrating through photographs Rochester’s strengths and challenges. The submissions, which include waterways, landmarks, and photographs related to economic development, will be analyzed and discussed, in regard to Rochester’s strengths and challenges. In addition, student representatives will discuss their role as part of the exhibition’s “I Am the Change” display of photography taken by area youth.

Those attending the forum may visit the Where We Live exhibition before the forum (beginning at 5 p.m.) or following. The forum will be held in the Eastman House’s Dryden Theatre.

The leaders of these companies will share with you their struggles and strengths, their ability to change and how they strive for continued business success. All while motivating the people around them in a very challenging technological environment.

We have brought together local radio and TV personalities along with area politicians to raise money for Melissa’s Living Legacy, a local organization that helps teens living with cancer. The celebrity bartenders will be mixing and mingling all night to help raise money for a great local organization.

Melissa’s Living Legacy is inspired by the life of Melissa Sengbusch who died in June, 2000 at age 19 of acute myeloid leukemia. Just days before she died, Melissa asked her mother, Lauren Spiker, to use what she had learned from her daughter’s experience to “make a difference – to make things better.” Melissa’s last request became her living legacy for all other teens facing a cancer diagnosis.

 Shipwrecked! - an Entertainment.The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (as Told by Himself)
This popular drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning Donald Margulies has recently become available, and is being performed around the country, and Blackfriars couldn’t wait to bring it Rochester!  This show replaces our previously announced play “The Violet Hour” in our 2009-2010 schedule, and will be playing Jan 30-Feb 20, 2010 at our new performance venue, located at 795 East Main Street, Rochester. Shipwrecked-an Entertainment is a family appropriate whimsical fantasy about an unlikely hero in an incredible tale of shipwreck and survival on a remote island.  Louis de Rougemont invites you to hear his amazing story of bravery, survival and celebrity, and offers the opportunity to explore the seductive power of the tall tale, and the needs of the storyteller.
The theatricality of the material and the creative staging should make for an evening brimming with great storytelling and the magic of live theatre, appropriate for all ages. Dare to be whisked away in a story of exotic islanders, rustic vessels and the high seas, and examine how far we're willing to blur the line between fact and fiction in order to leave our mark on the world. “What does a man leave behind but his name and the story he told?” Sail away with us toward this wild escapade that explores the real nature of truth.
