Our
LECTURES
Primetime Presenters’s lectures have provided great entertainment for 55+ communities, retirement facilities, JCCs, country clubs and more!

Quick story: After hearing the “Famous Moments, Famous Movies Part II” lecture, a woman approached Dan to discuss the shower scene in “Psycho” that he just showed. She remembered seeing the film with friends in New York City in 1960 shortly after it opened, and that it was so scary they didn’t want to shower for three days! Triggering memories such as these are at the heart of everything Primetime Presenters does.

In person lectures are available throughout Florida, Denver, Albuquerque, Minnesota, Phoenix, and New York/New Jersey. Most lecturers are also available via Zoom. Click the links below to learn more.

Mike and his presentation were fantastic. We could not have asked for a better person to speak at our college. Can’t say enough superlatives. Hope we can have him back someday!

Rich was great! His first presentation had such a big turnout that we moved his second presentation to a larger venue to accommodate the demand.

The talks were both informative and entertaining, the perfect combination we were looking for. It was a pleasure to have Rich and his wife onboard. I’m sure we’ll want to invite him back in the future so I’ll be in touch when we’re ready to discuss!

Thank you so much for your course at FELS! And especially for giving us an extra session! All of us are amazed by your wealth of knowledge about the actors, producers, and the film industry. I can’t believe that you can remember the names of so many characters and so many plots. But you also analyze the trends, the politics, and the historical significance of this art.

Just want to give a great big shout out to Dan Hudak who gave a very interesting talk on famous movie quotes tonight at the Pearl. He is very knowledgeable and the audience learned a great deal from him. He knows so much movie trivia and he was so fascinating to listen to!

Hope he gives many more lectures here at the Pearl!!

Stefan was wonderful. His broad base of knowledge was amazing.

I have had the great pleasure of attending a series of lectures on American films recently delivered at Amaran Senior Living in Albuquerque by Dan Hudak. These talks concerning many of the greatest achievements of American cinema were enthusiastically presented by Mr. Hudak with depth, lucidity and personal charm. I highly recommend him to any community looking for a terrific presentation on classic films!
