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.

I AM WRITING TO GIVE DAN HUDAK MY SINCERE AND HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. HIS PRESENTATION STYLE IS INFORMATIVE, PROFESSIONAL, AND HE KEEPS HIS AUDIENCE THOROUGHLY ENGAGED. HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS HIS LECTURE GENERATED. HE IS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. THE BOCA RESORT IS THRILLED TO INVITE HIM BACK EVERY SEASON.

“James Calaski’s gifts as a historian, coupled with his innate skills as a police detective, bring a unique perspective to his work. He is thorough in his research, always going to those places where the facts lead. All that, plus Jim’s personable style and good sense of humor make him an ideal presenter for any group event.”

Alex Bruner’s presentation — From George Washington to Gaza: The Ups and Downs of the American-Israeli Relationship — was very informative. His use of powerpoint made the presentation easier to understand and brought the information to light. His knowledge of the subject was extensive and personal. We look forward to having him back next year.

I have been surveying some of my club members regarding your wonderful Hollywood Moguls presentation. You have a wealth of knowledge on the subject and they were amazed that you could recall it without looking at your notes.

Very interesting presentation. We were recently in the UP (Michigan’s Upper Peninsula) and never actually got the full history. Thank you so much for an excellent, clearly presented history lesson.

The talk was excellent. many thanks.

Please accept this letter as my strong recommendation for Film Critic and Lecturer Dan Hudak’s program. As an Entertainment Director for a sometimes demanding and always discerning group, I am constantly looking for creative and entertaining ways to add to my program. As we have a “movie crowd”, Dan was the perfect choice to fit the bill! His lectures are entertaining and interesting, touching on a topic that appeals to all age groups…the movies! He is personable and knowledgeable and an evening spent with Dan is one where you walk away wanting to know more about the subject of the night. My residents are always happy when Dan visits and the theatre is usually full of film lovers excited to hear his topic for the evening. If you are looking for a fresh and engaging evening for your group, look no further. Call Dan Hudak!

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!
