    Elwes has starred in a multitude of films and tv shows including “Seinfeld”, “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”,“Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, “Saw”, “Days of Thunder”, “Twister”, “Liar, Liar”, “Stranger Things”, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre”, and “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning.” He has just completed Gus Van Sant’s, “Dead Man’s Wire” and the first season of “M.I.A.” produced by the creative team behind “Ozark.”

     

    He is about to start work on a pilot, “Very Young Frankenstein” with the Oscar winning team of director, Taika Waititi, and producer, Mel Brooks.

     

    A limited number of VIP packages are available which include the best seats in the house, a private Meet and Greet with Cary, and a signed copy of his New York Times best-selling book, “As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride.”

A moderated conversation led by Barbara Hamm Lee — award-winning journalist and host of Another View — will follow the lecture, concluding with an audience Q&A.

Individual reception tickets begin at $350 and sponsorship opportunities are available to individuals, non-profit organizations, and businesses. Individual reception tickets and sponsorships include admission to the public lecture. Visit VirginiaHumanities.org/CommonwealthLecture for additional information and to purchase tickets.

Fully renovated and restored, the historic Carpenter Theatre is the cornerstone of the Dominion Energy Center. It features state-of-the-art lighting and world-class acoustics while still preserving its Old World feel. Its large stage, great acoustics and 20 dressing rooms make it a performer’s dream venue. Carpenter Theatre’s main lobby includes two refreshment bars and a concierge station, with two additional refreshment bars upstairs. Four large mosaic tile murals of parrots serve as the backdrop to the four refreshment bars and are a tribute to the handmade parrot that has been perched in the lobby since the theater first opened in 1928. Upon entering the refurbished Carpenter Theatre - with nearly 1,800 seats - audiences enjoy newly installed fiber optic stars twinkling overhead in the repainted midnight sky ceiling, one of the many preserved and enhanced elements of John Eberson's original theater design.
