Palminteri Brings 'A Bronx Tale' To Schenectady

Proctors in Schenectady will take on a downstate feel on Sunday, March 22 when Academy Award-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri performs his one-man show A Bronx Tale, which became a beloved movie of the same name directed by Robert de Niro.

Palminteri — who wrote the play and screenplay and played the gangster Sonny in the film — is doing the play as a benefit for his Child Reach Foundation.

A member of the Actors Studio, Palminteri has had a long career on stage and screen, including his Oscar-nominated turn in Bullets Over Broadway, The Usual Suspects, Analyze This, Modern Family, and dozens more.
