With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud Davenport and Doug Simon (portrayed by real-life brothers, Carson and Tyler Wright) sing all the songs and play all the parts in their hilarious historical epic. Called "A smashing success" by the New York Times, Gutenberg! The Musical! went on to receive Lucille Lortel Award and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for Outstanding Musical and is currently being revived on Broadway! *Presented by SAPAC

"The Real RFK, Jr." provides an intimate and never-before-seen view into the life of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a central figure in America's beloved Kennedy family. This insightful documentary centers on RFK Jr.'s personal battles and triumphs, revealing the man behind the public persona.

 

Directed by Ron Lynch and based on the 2023 New York Times bestselling biography by Dick Russell, "The Real RFK Jr." delivers a unique perspective that goes beyond traditional political storytelling. The documentary highlights RFK Jr.'s struggles with addiction, celebrates his 40 years of sobriety, and follows his journey in becoming an influential advocate for various causes.

Producer Jeff Hays remarks, "In this film, we're not just sharing a story; we're extending an invitation to viewers to deeply understand RFK Jr.—a figure shaped by the profound legacy of his family into a leader, yet distinguished by his own incredible compassion and humility. By moving beyond the public perception, our aim is to unveil the genuine character of a man born into a lineage of prominent leaders but who stands out for the earnest qualities that have long been the hallmark of the Kennedy family."



"The Real RFK Jr." elevates the traditional documentary format, weaving a narrative that intimately connects RFK Jr.'s personal journey with the broader Kennedy legacy. This portrayal not only highlights his resilience and dedication but also his evolution into a powerful advocate for change, underscoring the unique blend of familial influence and individual conviction that defines him.
