 Mike Burstyn as Meyer Lansky
|
More than 130 American Friends packed the famed Parker Playhouse to enjoy Mike Burstyn's virtuoso solo performance as the infamous gangster Meyer Lansky in Lansky: The Brains Behind the Mob.
A special cocktail reception, chaired by Gaby Brill and Yemmy Strum and sponsored by the South Florida AFTAU leadership, followed the performance. Mike Burstyn shared his special affection for Tel Aviv University, observing that "there is no better place in Israel for a student to get a comprehensive quality education and to open the door for great opportunity and success later in life."
His enthusiastic audience, who enjoyed getting to know the versatile actor after the performance, couldn't agree more.
