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.

Good Morning Catherine,
Thank you so much for a fabulous presentation on new Zealand last evening. Our audience loved it! I have been receiving such positive feedback and wanted to share with you the comments I received thus far. As I mentioned last night, your enthusiasm for New Zealand shines through the screen and I do hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and will return in the future.

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!

Dan’s presentation on the Oscar nominees was very well received by our community. He was interesting, so knowledgeable, professional, and downright charming and warm. He maintained the audience’s rapt attention throughout his performance while smoothly synchronizing his video examples with his talk. We look forward to having Dan return to Valencia Lakes in the future.

Nice balance of light-hearted and serious presentations this week! Very interesting to hear about some founders’ unexpected personal views and beliefs. I am interested in learning more from Mr Todd about any of the four topics above but especially the two I checked. Thanks!

It has been quite a good number of years since you began doing your programs at the Jericho Library. It’s always a pleasure working with you….whether in person or virtual. Your presentations are always so well done and informative. I look forward to having you back often. My patrons always ask for more. Nothing makes me happier!

I’ve always been a fan and now I know why: a deep emotional connection with her work that she has and gives to us. Thank you for a really good presentation!
