Actors Barry Primus and Doris Roberts, Oscar-nominated sound mixers Jim Webb and Theodore Soderberg, and director Mark Rydell will participate in an onstage discussion following the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ (now sold out) 30th anniversary screening of The Rose on Friday, September 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Los Angeles Times film critic Betsy Sharkey will host the evening.

Bette Midler was originally scheduled to be present at the event, but as per the Academy's press release "has had to cancel for personal reasons." Instead, Midler will provide "a special video message dedicated to the cast, crew and fans of the film."

In The Rose, Primus plays the role of Dennis and Roberts is Rose’s mother. Webb and Soderberg received an Oscar nomination in the Best Sound category, along with Douglas Williams and Paul Wells.

Tickets for The Rose are sold out. A standby line will form on the day of the event, and standby numbers will be assigned at approximately 5:30 p.m. Any available tickets will be distributed shortly before the program begins. Tickets are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. All seating is unreserved. The Samuel Goldwyn Theater is located at 8949 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. For more information, call (310) 247-3600 or visit www.oscars.org.
