Lyric Theatre presents "Citizen Kane" as part of its Spotlight Series featuring director Orson Welles on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
The August Spotlight Series celebrates one of the most influential filmmakers in cinema history, Orson Welles.
Orson Welles' first feature film "Citizen Kane", which he directed, produced, and co-wrote as well as playing the title role, proved to be his most important and influential work, a ground-breaking drama loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst which is frequently cited as the finest American film ever made.
Film Synopsis:
Aging newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) dies in his sprawling Florida estate after uttering a single, enigmatic final word "Rosebud" and newsreel producer Rawlston (Phil Van Zandt) sends reporter Jerry Thompson (William Alland) out with the assignment of uncovering the meaning behind the great man's dying thought.
The film was released in 1941 and is rated PG.
