Bard @ the Bar
in honor of William Shakespeare

Directed by Roger Hendricks Simon

Tuesday, November 30th, 7:00 P.M.
THE PLAYERS CLUB
16 Gramercy Park South
New York, NY

This annual SIMON STUDIO celebration event is an environmental performance collage - scenes, songs, music and dance by William Shakespeare, featuring current studio members, alumni & special guests from The Players Club, film, Broadway and London stage worlds.

"... an impressive group of scenes, using every inch of the expansive room, as well as audience members, as part of the ambiance... a '60's style street theatre environment, (where) audience members wandered in and out and photographers documented the performance. Strict homage was paid to the Bard's language, with vivid, highly physicalized portrayals by all. Actors of all shapes, sizes and ages were encouraged to share their talents, eschewing the youth-oriented look of many recent Shakespearean productions. Director Roger Hendricks Simon is to be congratulated for his dedication to the inclusion of all types of talented actors, and the large, enthusiastic crowd obviously agreed."

The award winning new feature film

THE SUBLET
written and directed by
Georgiana Nestor
starring
Roger Hendricks Simon
RENT ON NETFLIX

REVIEWERS RAVE!!!
"The performances are superb. Most impressive is Simon, whose expressive face
evokes the weary life of a retired civil servant and longtime widower
still haunted by the memory of his late wife....

Hinting at an older Woody Allen, Simon creates a wholly sympathetic figure,
a man breaking out of his self-imposed shell despite his better judgement.
- an utterly charming independent film." - BACKSTAGE

"Roger Hendricks Simon takes expansive glee in inventing imaginary subletting
scenarios over the phone, and the unabashed eagerness with which he hovers
over drop- in visitors affords some well timed comedy bits." - VARIETY

"Roger Hendricks Simon's performance balances just the right amount of pathos, charisma & great comic timing so you're always captivated whenever he's on screen. He often seems like a less neurotic version of WoodyAllen.......Heartwarming, funny and wise.
A refreshingly original, witty and crowd-pleasing gem."-- NYC Movie Guru

is now being considered by NETFLIX to add this film to their roster of available movies, under the condition that there is interest in the film. SOOOO . . . we need your help.

NETFLIX has sent the following information to Georgiana:
"We currently have your title listed in a 'saved' status on the site. Subscribers may add the title to the bottom of their queues.
