MAR 8-14: Corrected newsletter. See what's up at the Playhouse!

Our apologies for the issues with the newsletter. We fixed the problem, so this one and future newsletters should be glitch-free! Our first week of movies has been great and we'd like to THANK everyone who has visited the Playhouse since we've opened. We are open everyday now, so be sure to check our website regularly as we may add films to our program. We had a tremendous response to our FREE SOLO screenings, so we added another show on Sunday, March 10 at 9:10pm. This is a movie to see on the big screen! We also added MARY POPPINS RETURNS to our March Break $5 Film Fest. Look for it daily Mar 11-15 at 11:30am. To further the $5 love, if you are a veteran or you bring a vet to THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD, the veteran will get in for $5. Respect and gratitude. Finally, we will be marking the legacy of architect William Palmer Witton on Wed. Mar 13 with a FREE lecture and slideshow. See below for more details. Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces this week at the Playhouse!

Free Solo

"Go figure that the year's most outrageously harrowing action movie turns out to be an arthouse doc from National Geographic." - Boston Globe

Oscar Winner: Best Feature Documentary. “Free Solo is a National Geographic head-spinner from husband-and-wife co-directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. It is extreme in the extreme. The focus is on Alex Honnold, a free climber who gives the finger to gravity every time he suits up.

“Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”

“If any other director had optioned Peter Bryant's 1958 novel about inadvertent nuclear conflict, it would doubtless have become an earnest Cold War thriller, wagging a sober finger at the folly of war.
