Staged Readings

Though staged readings lack the sets, props and costumes of a full scale production, they also offer a more intimate experience between the audience, actors, director, writer and producer.

To date, there have been six staged readings of Freudian Slips just off Broadway in New York City. These events featured wonderful performances by very talented actors with excellent direction. Each performance was followed by receptions where everyone could meet and share thoughts with those who created the play.

Among the exceptional actors of Freudian Slips:
    Brad Oscar who is starring on Broadway as Max in The Producers, having originated the role of Franz Liebkind, for which he received a Tony nomination. Other NYC credits include Jekyll & Hyde, Aspects of Love, and Forbidden Broadway.

    Michael McGrath who played Groucho Marx in The Cocoanuts. His credits include 1776 (John Adams), George M! (George), The Music Man (Harold Hill), and Sugar Babies (Top Banana).

Of course, Freudian Slips also owes much to the hard work, devotion and creativity of the writer and director:

    Director : Joel Leffert
    Writer : Marvin Lifschitz has been a well known psychoanalyst, teacher and author in New York City and West Chester, NY, for many years. As a young boy, he wrote and created western, murder, war and comedy movies for family and friends in Jersey City. He has completed a screenplay; The Evil Inclination.
