The man we know as the Buddha lived in Northern India around 500BC and introduced the teaching known as Buddhism. After his death, an extensive oral history of the movement was written down and carried throughout Asia, becoming the taproot for all Buddhist traditions. Framed in a most unusual and personal context, writer/performer Evan Brenner brings selections from these texts to the stage, unchanged, to enact the extraordinary life of the man from start to finish. It’s an epic story of personal struggle, supreme enlightenment and horrific tragedy. |

Evan Brenner
Evan Brenner is particularly interested in the Buddha's life as an expression and example of spiritual struggle, achievement, and on-going challenge. Evan majored in Drama and Religion at Vassar College then received a Masters Degree in Dramatic Writing at Loyola Marymount University. While living in Russia, he wrote and directed the feature film Sasha's Riddle, a Russian language story about a 10-year-old boy [See review below] [Read a NY Times article]. He is a veteran writer and actor in New York Independent film and his directing jobs for television include America's Most Wanted and Little Bill. Evan has practiced meditation and studied Buddhism for more than twenty years. Since 2003 he has pursued canonical sutra studies in the Therevada tradition. He is an enthusiastic, though perpetually intermediate yoga practitioner at Kula Yoga in downtown Manhattan. |
