SUMMARY:Kathy Kriger reads from Rick's Cafe
DESCRIPTION:For more than 60 years\, tourists visiting Casablanca tried to visit Rick’s Café Americain only to discover that Warner Brothers had built the entire set on a studio back lot. It was a Hollywood fantasy—until Kathy Kriger came along\, that is\, and decided after 9/11 to bring the imaginary gin joint to life. In Rick’s Cafe\, she takes us through souk back alleys\, the Marché Central’s overflowing food stalls\, and the shadowy Moroccan business world\, all while producing\, directing\, casting\, and playing lead actress in her own story. Instead of letters of transit\, she begged for letters of credit; the governor of Casablanca watched her back instead of Captain Renault; and at the piano\, playing “As Time Goes By\,” sits not Sam but Issam. She encountered paper pushers\, absent architects\, dedicated craftsmen\, mad chefs\, and surprising allies. It took over two years\, but Rick’s Café opened in 2004 to rave reviews. Now\, as Captain Renault says to Major Strasser\, “Everybody comes to Rick’s.” Here is how she brought to life the screen legend that has captured the imagination of generations. \nCheck out the trailer: http://youtu.be/iQ4D0uKecfA
