Join us October 15 and 16 with presenting partner Environment Hamilton [3] for special presentations of the new 2020 environmental doc I Am Greta. [1] The film follows young Swedish activist Greta Thunberg from her intial single-handed demonstrations outside the Swedish Parliament, to a sail-powered journey across the Atlantic to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in 2019. An inspiring person who's words must be heard!
Both screenings will feature an Environment Hamilton representative to speak to climate action before the film.
Meeting The Beatles in India [2] returns again this weekend. In case you missed it last week, the film includes never-before-seen footage of the Beatles, plus stories and more from their 1968 trip to meet and study transcendental meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Plus, an unlikely Canadian connection in the form of photographer Paul Saltzman, who photographed the band's history-changing trip.

Spooky season is upon us, and this weekend 'Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be' because Rock In Cinema returns! AC/DC: Let There Be Rock [4] screams into the Playhouse for one-show only Friday, October 16th. It's AC/DC at their very best - don't miss your chance to see them on the big screen!
We kick-off Playhouse of Horror this week with John Landis' An American Werewolf in London [5]. One of the earliest films to bridge the gap between horror and comedy, this is a rare chance to see a genuine horror classic on the big screen and the first-ever Oscar-winner for Best Make-up! "Stay off the moors..." Don't miss this gem! Great soundtrack, too!
A note to our valued patrons, The Playhouse will be closed temporarily on October 18 - 22 for a motion picture production. The Playhouse cinema is an elegant and beautiful 106 year old theatre. No expense was spared when this theatre was built in 1914, and following the cinema's 2018 restoration it has taken the attention of local film productions. We can't say much more about what will be happening behind the closed doors of the cinema next week, but it is something big! The Playhouse will return to normal operation Friday, October 23rd. Until then stay safe and we look forward to seeing you at the movies!
