Crystal Cruises Plans Tribute to Character Actors

Crystal Cruises will pay tribute to character actors: the villains, sidekicks and familiar faces that have made their mark on film and theatre history. Aboard the line's Aug. 31 Film & Theatre Festival voyage on Crystal Symphony, the tribute features noted actor Bruce McGill, along with theatre lecturers, producer Steven Rivellino and author and historian Robert Kimball. A departure from the typical crossing, the 14-day transatlantic cruise will call in Dublin, Ireland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Nuuk, Greenland; and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Bruce McGill's film resume includes pivotal roles in "Cinderella Man," "Collateral" and "The Insider," among dozens of others.

In addition to McGill's work, the ship will screen films of other great scene-stealers, complemented by pre- and post-movie commentary by an expert moderator. Film and theatre enthusiasts will also be treated to panel discussions, lectures, daily movie trivia contests and a social "name that movie tune" cocktail party. As vice president and general manager of Radio City Music Hall, producer Rivellino has produced The Grammy Awards, MTV Music Video Awards, and concerts starring Frank Sinatra and Madonna. Currently preparing "Rizoma" to open on Broadway next season, Rivellino will share insights on "The Business of Broadway Trends," "Tonys and Tickets" and "Radio City Music Hall, the Showplace of the Nation." Theater historian, author and Grammy Award nominee Kimball is artistic adviser to both the Gershwin Trusts and the Cole Porter Trusts, and a consultant on musical theatre to the Library of Congress. He will regale Crystal guests with talks on Berlin cabaret, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, the Gershwins in Hollywood, and the music of Frank Loesser. Fares begin at $4,745 per person, double occupancy. The cruise starts in London and concludes in New York. For more information, call 800-446-6620 or visit www.crystalcruises.com.
