Einstein! The Longest Running Solo Show in Los Angeles
Award-winning solo show about Albert Einstein's life
About this Event
Prepare to be captivated by "Einstein," the multi-award-winning and critically acclaimed solo show written by and starring Jack Fry. This spellbinding performance brings Albert Einstein back from beyond, frustrated that the real story behind General Relativity remains untold.
Travel back to Berlin in 1914, where Einstein finds himself in a world crumbling due to the Great War. Amidst skepticism from the scientific establishment, attempts to wrest his theory away, isolation due to his pacifist views, a tumultuous marriage, anti-Semitism, a son's longing for affection, and a nervous breakdown that leaves him bedridden for two months, Einstein's resilience shines through.
With humor and stunning 3D graphics that offer a glimpse into his brilliant mind, Jack Fry brings Albert Einstein to life, revitalizing one of history's most intriguing icons. "Einstein" is a funny, touching, and triumphant portrayal that you won't want to miss!
Proudly presented by Meaford Hall as part of the 2024 Summer Theatre Season.

about the organizer
Meaford Hall
In 1909, the town of Meaford eagerly gathered at the new Town Hall and Opera House on Nelson and Sykes Streets. The construction of this grand building, designed by local architect James Ellis, marked a significant moment for the community. As the cornerstone was laid in 1908, Mayor J.W. Horsley proudly declared that Meaford Hall would be a symbol of progress and prosperity for generations to come.
Over the years, Meaford Hall served multiple purposes, including housing the council chambers, town offices, courtroom, library, and community meeting spaces. However, it was the second-floor Opera House that truly captured the town's heart. The Opera House became a cultural hub, hosting plays, graduations, concerts, and famous speakers.
The building endured some neglect but was ultimately saved through a restoration project in the early 2000s, funded by grants and community efforts.
Today, Meaford Hall Arts & Cultural Centre stands as an icon of downtown Meaford, a testament to the town's history and commitment to arts and culture.
