We have a bunch of new PLAYHOUSE AT HOME titles starting this Friday! These all come from Canadian distributor, Elevation, who has brought us many great films over the years, including Moonlight and Amazing Grace. The next culinary European adventure from everyone's favourite traveling bro-mance (bro-rivalry?) returns with THE TRIP TO GREECE, starring Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan. This Trip will leave you feeling hungry for travel, good food, and inspired to practice your bad impressions! Streaming starts May 22!

Streaming May 22 - June 4. A perfect film for the age of quarantine. SPACESHIP EARTH is a wild documentary about a group of researchers and scientists that locked themselves away in an experimental bubble-like habitat.

Streaming May 22 - June 4. An engrossing Norwegian documentary born of the unlikely but resilient bond between a young female artist and a career criminal who stole two of her large canvases, THE PAINTER AND THE THIEF is "an unlikely tale of human connection where risk delivers many rewards."

This Sunday! Join us for our first Facebook Watch Party! May 24 is Bob Dylan's birthday, so we are going to celebrate by commemorating a moment in rock/Hamilton/Playhouse history. In 1986, Bob came to Hamilton to film 'Hearts of Fire.' Some say this movie is "bad," but we disagree! It's just totally 1980s, and once you get past that (and some 1980s hair-metal music), it's actually pretty amazing. The Playhouse and our stretch of Sherman has a pretty significant cameo in the movie (see screenshot from the film and note "Now Showing" on the marquee!). Join the Facebook Event here [7]! We can "chat" during the screening and have a good laugh!
