Jack Fry’s award-winning EINSTEIN! returns to Santa Monica Playhouse after traveling across the country and Canada, winning acclaim from New York City to Edmonton. Albert comes back from the beyond to set the record straight and tell us the real history behind his scientific breakthrough. Set in 1914 Berlin, the solo play follows young Albert Einstein as he struggles to prove his general theory of relativity, while his personal life — new fatherhood, a wife who won't agree to a divorce, failing health — and society crumble around him due to the Great War. Told with humor and heart, EINSTEIN! draws on the recent release of 15,000 documents and Fry's three years of research to show a side of the genius that's rarely seen.

What is the origin story of GeniusFEST? Co-producer/performer Jack Fry (EINSTEIN) tells us, “One day, a few years ago, Heather Massie (Hedy Lamarr), a few other science-based performers and I were sitting on the porch at a booking conference in the Minneapolis Hilton Hotel, musing about all the technology around us that we take for granted, never knowing the geniuses who created these remarkable innovations. Since our shows brought these geniuses to life, might it not be our 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. Thus, GeniusFEST From Ideas to Impact – Celebrating Revolutionary Minds took form. We hope this festival will inspire audiences to engage in their world in a more appreciative and enlightening manner, while at the same time be astounded by the spectacular stories these artists tell.”
