Michael Stuhlbarg Joins Cast Of UNEXPECTED TENDERNESS Reading 3/31

Golden Globe nominated actor Michael Stuhlbarg (Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy for A Serious Man) will feature in Israel Horovitz's Unexpected Tenderness, the finale of the Barefoot Theatre Company's 70/70 Project. The yearlong and worldwide festival showcasing 70 plays by Horovitz culminates on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, which is also the playwright's 71st birthday, at the Bleecker Street Theatre (45 Bleecker between Lafayette and Mott streets). This special evening also features live music, surprise guests and cocktails at 7pm. The curtain rises at 8 pm and tickets are $25 per person.

Besides Stuhlbarg, the reading of Unexpected Tenderness, directed by Terry Kinney, a founding member of the famed Steppenwolf Theatre Company, will feature performers including Lynn Cohen, Anna Chlumsky and Sol Freider, as well as members of Barefoot Theatre Company. A study on family dysfunction, the play examines the relationship between a father and son and presents, in the character of Archie Stern, one of Horovitz's most compelling personalities.

Few living playwrights have had a career as storied and varied as Israel Horovitz. The founder of the New York Playwrights Lab (and still its Artistic Director), Horovitz has enjoyed a lengthy career writing for the stage and screen. His 1968 play The Indian Wants the Bronx earned him his first of two Obie Awards for Best (Off-Broadway) Play, while also thrusting into the spotlight two unknowns named Al Pacino and John Cazale. Line, now in its 37th year at the 13th St. Theatre, is New York City's longest-running play. Some of Horovitz's 70+ plays have been translated and performed in as many as 30 languages, worldwide, most notably in France, where he is the most produced American playwright in French theatre history - and recently decorated by the French government as Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters. His screenplay for the semi-autobiographical Author! Author! solidified his place as one of Hollywood's most sought after talents.

Based in New York City, Barefoot Theatre Company leads over 50 theater companies across six continents, in countries such as France, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Brazil and Israel. The opening of the 70/70 Horovitz Project was held at the Bleecker Street Theatre on March 31, 2009 with the reading of Sins of the Mother, directed by Jo Bonney and featuring Bobby Cannavale, John Doman, Michael Stuhlbarg and Barefoot artistic director Francisco Solorzano.

Sponsored by the Bleecker Street Theatre, Samuel French Play Publishers, Dramatist Play Service, Inc, Smith & Krauss Publications, Theatre Communications Group, East 3rd Productions, Zyr Vodka, Cape Ann Brewing Company and Two Boots Pizza, Barefoot Theatre Company will use the proceeds to produce thought-provoking theater in a nurturing environment for emerging artists.

Barefoot Theatre Company was founded in 1999 and has since produced over sixty plays as well as readings, workshops and fully staged productions. In 2002, the company gained further exposure within the theatre community when they received the OOBR Award in excellence for Mary Gallagher's political drama, ¿De Donde?

After joining their Advisory Board in 2007, Horovitz and Barefoot Theatre Company have enjoyed a strong collaborative effort, with them developed and produced Israel Horovitz's New Shorts, nominated for three Innovative Theatre Awards in 2007. In 2008, Barefoot's Producing Artistic Director, Francisco Solorzano, developed and mounted the stage adaptation of Sidney Lumet's 1975 Oscar-winning film Dog Day Afternoon at NYC's Theatre Row Theatres. Dog Day Afternoon played to sold-out audiences and rave reviews. In addition to having work published by Samuel French Play Publishers (A Mother's Love and Security), French Publications (Beirut Rocks), Smith & Krauss Publications (20 Short Plays by Israel Horovitz), Barefoot Theatre Company revived monumental ensemble pieces such as Lanford Wilson's Balm In Gilead featuring company member Anna Chlumsky (30 Rock, My Girl); Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie? (First revival since its 1969 run that introduced Al Pacino); as well as the 35th anniversary production of The Indian Wants the Bronx that later transferred to the Gloucester Stage Company.
