Streaming June 5 - 18. A Playhouse rep fave! Stream for $6.99. In 1956, before Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, 23-year-old Canadian biologist Anne Innis Dagg made an unprecedented solo journey to South Africa to study giraffes in the wild. In this moving documentary, Anne (now 85) retraces her steps, and with letters and stunning, original 16mm film footage offers an intimate window into her life as a young woman, juxtaposed with a first hand look at the devastating reality that giraffes are facing today and the challenges Dagg faced as a female academic.

Streaming June 5 - 18. A Playhouse rep fave! Stream for $6.99. NOTHING LIKE A DAME proves there's plenty of entertainment value to be found in rounding up a quartet of screen legends for a chat -- and is likely to leave audiences wishing these stars would keep brewing up pots for an ongoing series.

Weekly Facebook Watch Party!

Mondays in June! Join us at 8:30 on the Playhouse Facebook page for a Mystery Movie Watch Party! The 1970s were a heyday for made-for-TV high concept thrillers. If you are old enough to have seen some of these small screen classics, they made an indelible impression. Let's take a trip down memory lane together to the farthest reaches of our nascent nightmares. Don't watch alone! Mystery Movie Mondays. Coming soon to a small screen near you.

Each week's presentation will be a "mystery" movie, but we can assure you, we are choosing only the best TV movies of the era that are available for us to watch in this format.

HOW DO WATCH PARTIES WORK? Make sure to be on the Playhouse Facebook page on Monday at 8:30 to join the Watch Party. We can interact as a group during the presentation by typing comments in the side "chat" bar (if you so wish!) It's nice to know we are watching together while being apart (especially while watching these creepy classics!)

Since we can't watch movies in our preferred format --the big screen-- we feel watching movies that were made for the small screen is appropriate. We would never recommend you watch a movie like Lawrence of Arabia or 2001: A Space Odyssey on your tablet or desktop or even your TV. Sacrilege! ;) We're purists that way....
