We so often take for granted the vast amounts of technology around us, never knowing the geniuses who created these remarkable innovations. Jack Fry (EINSTEIN), Heather Massey (HEDY LAMARR) and Michael Shaw Fisher (SHAKESPEARE), the artists who bring these marvelous thinkers so magnificently to life, asked if it might not be their mission to bring awareness to the dramatic stories behind these historic achievements, these revolutionary ideas from all types of visionaries that have transformed our world. Join us for GeniusFEST and see for yourself. For details on all GeniusFEST shows, visit SantaMonicaPlayhouse.com
