Dr. Ruth Westheimer sits down with Sigmund Freud (Played by Martin Rayner of “Freud’s Last Session”) to discuss his life’s work and whether he’d change his views if he were still alive today.

Our friend Brenda Bauer brought this exciting original opera, “Juniper Tree,” to our attention and we would love to share the details with you all as well! As an additional bonus the opera was written and produced by 10,000 Minds Undergraduate Advisory Board Member Joshua Nathaniel Reid Ollswang.

The recruitment and formation of an APsaA Undergraduate Advisory Board (UAB) comprised of undergraduate students came out of an IPA grant aimed to study the most effective ways in which to reach the 10,000 Best Minds of the next generation.

“Juniper Tree” will be performed at Jan Hus Theatre, 351 E. 74th Street, New York, New York on December 12, 14 and 15, at 8pm. Donations will be accepted at the door.

For more information about the Opera, like the cast and a teaser video, please see more below!

When Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the sex therapist, met Sigmund Freud on a fateful night in midtown Manhattan, she probably should have known what might happen nine months later. The encounter took place last fall at the New World Stages theater complex, where Dr. Westheimer had just seen “Freud’s Last Session,” the word-of-mouth Off Broadway hit by Mark St. Germain. Afterward she found herself chatting with Martin Rayner, the actor who plays Freud.
