A Single Man
March 17, 2010 4:30 PM
Shows at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.
Rated: R
<i>A Single Man</i> is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. Set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it tells the story of British college professor George Falconer (Colin Firth) who struggles to find meaning in his life after the death of his longtime partner. Throughout the single day depicted in the film, George dwells on his past and his empty future as he plans to commit suicide that evening.
A romantic tale of love-interrupted and isolation, the film ultimately reveals the importance of the seemingly insignificant moments in life. Colin Firth received the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the 2009 Venice Film Festival. Academy Award nomination for Best Actor (Colin Firth). Mar. 15–20, 22–23 screening room. 100 mins.
A Grand Medley of Entertainments
March 17, 2010 7:30 PM
Owen Murdock’s company gamely tries to present a Grand Medley -- an 18th-century traveling show! There should be amazing feats, strange beasts, and fast-paced hilarity, but things aren’t going well for the company. Their misfortunes provide a comedy of errors for the entire family to enjoy.
A colonial entertainment of such mirth, even Colonel Washington would have laughed!
Additional ticket required - $12 adults, $6 for children under 6.
Conversation with a Founding Father
March 18, 2010 12:30 PM
Talk with Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, or the Marquis de Lafayette about issues that transcend time. Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions.
