The King and I

Where: Grand Opera House

Date: 2007-11-15 19:00:00

Type:

The bigscreen version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical classic, starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. After the death of her husband, Anna Leonowens moves from England to Siam with her son Louis to become a teacher for the children of the king of Siam. She finds Siamese customs to be quite different from English ones, which brings her often in conflict with the king. However, after some time they find themselves getting along much better. Broadway on a Budget was created in response to a strong audience request for more “Broadway shows” at the Grand. Of course, touring Broadway theatre is both too expensive and too elaborated to be successfully presented in our intimate theater. Our solution? A series of Broadway movie-musicals shown on the Grand’s big screen… in short “Broadway on a Budget.” Just like “Screen Scene” audience members are invited to stay after the movie for a brief afterglow featuring snacks and beverages. All seats $4, includes afterglow. Rated G

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Where: Grand Opera House

Date: 2007-11-29 19:00:00

Type:

Starring John Wayne and James Stewart. Directed by John Ford In this late film from a long career, Ford looks at the civilizing of an Old West town, Shinbone, through the sad memories of settlers looking back. In the town's wide-open youth, two-fisted Westerner John Wayne and tenderfoot newcomer James Stewart clash over a woman (Vera Miles) but ultimately unite against the notorious outlaw Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). Ford's nostalgia for the past is tempered by his stark approach, unusual for the visual poet of Stagecoach and The Searchers. The two heavyweights, Wayne and Stewart, are good together, with Wayne the embodiment of rugged individualism and Stewart the idealistic prophet of the civilization that will eventually tame the Wild West. Screen Scene is designed to give our audiences films they can “talk about,” and then provide the place to do just that – after the credits roll the audience will enjoy a brief afterglow, featuring snacks and beverages and a discussion of the movie itself led by a local “expert.” All tickets $4, includes afterglow. Not rated.
