May 24-30: We've got a BIG week at the Playhouse!

We sell advance tickets for all our shows! Just click on a showtime.

We start Friday with another Hamilton premiere: THE WHITE CROW, Ralph Fiennes' fine biopic of one of the greatest dancers that ever lived, Rudolf Nureyev. Staying with the Soviet theme, there are a few more chances to see Judi Dench in RED JOAN on the weekend. We get retro and irreverent on Friday night with the 45th anniversary of Mel Brooks' comedy classic, BLAZING SADDLES. Cult film fans won't want to miss UNDER THE SILVER LAKE, a mind-trip from the director of IT FOLLOWS. On Monday we have a special, one night only double-bill: the new documentary about writer Ursula K. Leguin, followed by the 1990 film version of The Handmaid's Tale (one ticket gets you into both films). Wear red! We have partnered with the Royal Botanical Gardens to screen a series of gardening films, starting Tuesday with FIVE SEASONS: THE GARDENS OF PIET OUDOLF. On Wednesday we have a Ted Barris book launch (with special guests), followed by a showing of the 1955 film, THE DAM BUSTERS. Finally, on Thursday there is a "Spring Fling" fundraiser, featuring a screening of the Hamilton-shot, Oscar-winning film, THE SHAPE OF WATER. Keep scrolling for details.

The White Crow

14A

"Director Ralph Fiennes makes this hypnotic look into the young life of controversial ballet icon Rudolph Nureyev (Oleg Ivenko) a thing of bruised beauty and an exhilarating gift." - Rolling Stone

"The White Crow tells the story of ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev and his sensational escape to the west in the early 60s at the age of 23, while on his first European tour. Dance is represented as a transcendental experience of success, of leaving behind the past and reinventing the future.

Red Joan

14A

"While Joan's early years are absolutely fascinating, it is the refreshing concept of Dench's elderly communist agent that gives this drama its real bite and edge." - Daily Mirror

“A good old-fashioned British spy thriller with a bewitching female heroine (or anti-heroine, if you will) played by the excellent actresses Judi Dench and (as her younger self) Sophie Cookson, Red Joan revisits the incredible real-life spy case of Melita Norwood. It is directed with a strong sense for character by Trevor Nunn, the former director of the Royal Shakespeare Co.

Blazing Saddles

45th Anniversary!

June 7 & 8! “Mel Brooks devised his most outrageous comedy with the brilliantly funny Blazing Saddles. Immediately setting the tone with a hilarious parody in the title song (music by John Morris, lyrics by Brooks), sung by Frankie Laine, Brooks swiftly proceeds to satirize every Western ever made.

Under the Silver Lake

STC

"One of the year's most interesting and absurdly entertaining puzzles. Should not be overlooked or ignored since it comes from one of the best filmmakers working today." - NOW

“The fog is thick in Under the Silver Lake—but it’s neither the funk of pot smoke (though there is some of that) nor bad weather. Rather, it’s the confusion located somewhere behind Andrew Garfield’s brow. His character, Sam, prowls the streets like a Scooby-less Shaggy in search of answers to a riddle he only half comprehends.

Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin

STC

“The flame in Ursula K. Le Guin only grew, the closer she came to the end of her life. By the time she was in her 80s, she was spitting out sparks like a campfire. ‘I was not saying what they expected the old lady from Oregon to say,’ Le Guin, who died in 2018 explains in a new documentary about her life, Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin.

The Godfather

THE GODFATHER will be introduced by Trevor Cole, author of The Whisky King, who will speak briefly on the Rocco Perri gangster-era in Hamilton. “Marlon Brando’s magic is revived in The Godfather in his intuitive grasp of Mario Puzo’s Don Corleone, a living symbol o
