Bay Catering Available Sponsored Announcement The Eulogy” is a hilarious dark comedy of a fictional Greek writer who tries to convince his friend to write each other’s eulogy to promote themselves as acclaimed writers. Kambanellis’ ingenuity and originality reveal dark, high quality and timeless humor. As described by Mr. Kambanellis himself, “In ‘The Eulogy,’ the person on the other end of the phone call, without being seen or heard, communicates and interacts with the onstage actor. The viewer slowly begins to imagine him, know him and even envision his reactions… Essentially, it is a dialogue where one of the two “speeches” has been removed, yet both are revealed through the words of the caller.” Michael has performed “The Eulogy” many times in Athens and recently ended a nine-performance session to sold-out audiences, with standing ovations.

His genius emotional intelligence, took off in an unforgettable performance, which had the peculiarity of making you laugh and be moved simultaneously, with quality, dark, and contemporary humor.…”The Eulogy” has been interpreted by many actors from time to time, but Dukakis seduces the viewer with his honesty, humanity and absolute identification with what Iakovos Kambanellis wanted to express...” –Yianna Katsageorgi, Editor in chief at “the National Herald” “At ALKMINI Theatre, in Athens, Michael Dukakis gave the performance of his life, with all theelements exaggerated and inflated, so that the ultimate honor for the honoree becomes an elementfor fun at the end of his life. The writer wrote and the actor gave the full range of comic variation... The audience did not stop laughing at the hero’s ambition and tricks. Michael Dukakis reminded me of the extraordinary late Thimios Karakatsanis (famous Greek actor). The tradition holds up well and I’m glad that a younger man is honoring his generation. Do not miss it.” –Anthoula Daniil, Author,Theater Critic, Ph.D. “...Mr. Michael Dukakis responds with impeccable technique and talent to the requirements of this role. As he enters the scene, we literally hear his silence speak eloquently through his movement and facial expressions. ...Mr. Dukakis shapes, piece by piece, the dramatic character. Masterful skills. Undoubtedly, Mr. Dukakis with clarity of speech, harmonized movements, but also the sharp look of his glances through which creeps the cunning hero wanting to convince his peer over the phone, gives us an outstanding performance like invisible music of light that vibrates the audience.” –Kalliopi G. Rapanaki, Theatrologist, Theater Criti. “The audience was laughing continuously during the performance, and excitedly applauded the act or, praising Michael Dukakis’s unique talent.” –Nikos Batsikanis, Member of the Greek U ion of Theater Critics For 60 years our Society ha have been a Society for all Due to the pandemic, our consider providing your fin our overhead.
