Ventura County Republican Party Mixer
Where: Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Air Force One Pavillion
When: Wednesday, April 25, 2007, 7:00 PM

Our special guest will be Cyrus Nowrasteh.

Cyrus Nowrasteh (No-rasta) began his career in 1986 writing the successful CBS television series, THE EQUALIZER. He went on to work on other series and wrote the pilot for the hit USA show LA FEMME NIKITA. In recent years Cyrus has focussed on docudrama and history.


In 2001 he wrote and directed the highly acclaimed Showtime presentation, THE DAY REAGAN WAS SHOT which starred Richard Dreyfuss as Alexander Haig and was executive produced by Oliver Stone. The following year he wrote 10,000 BLACK MEN NAMED GEORGE, another Showtime presentation. For both of the above films Mr. Nowrasteh received the PEN LITERARY AWARD for Best Teleplay -- the only writer in the history of the Pen awards to win two years in a row in the same category. In 2005 Mr. Nowrasteh wrote the MANIFEST DESTINY episode of the Steven Spielberg and TNT miniseries presentation INTO THE WEST which was nominated for 16 emmy awards. Most recently, Mr. Nowrasteh wrote and produced the ABC miniseries, THE PATH TO 9/11, which aired on September 10th and 11th, 2006, before 28 million viewers. Ex-President Bill Clinton and many of his supporters in the Democratic party attacked the miniseries and tried very hard to get the broadcast pulled, which is the subject of Mr. Nowrasteh's talk this evening.

Cost of admission is $20. Please make check payable to Ventura County Republican Party and mail to 3625 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., Suite 259, Westlake Village, CA 91362. For more information contact headquarters at (805) 557-1240.
