Tuesday, Feb 13th: Little Miss Sunshine

Think your family is dysfunctional?

Olive is a little girl with a dream: winning the Little Miss Sunshine contest. Her family wants her dream to come true, but they are so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them.

Olive's father Richard is a flop as a motivational speaker, and is barely on speaking terms with her mother. Her uncle Frank, a renowned Proust scholar, has attempted suicide following an unsuccessful romance with a male graduate student. Her brother Dwayne, a fanatical follower of Nietzsche, has taken a vow of silence, which allows him to escape somewhat from the family whose very presence torments him. And Olive's grandfather is a ne'er-do-well with a drug habit, but at least he enthusiastically coaches Olive in her contest talent routine. Circumstances conspire to put the entire family on the road together with the goal of getting Olive to the Little Miss Sunshine contest in far off California.

The show starts at 7pm, admission is $5 - hope to see you there!

Tuesday, Jan 23rd - Seabound

We're back again and this time around we're bringing you another great cinematic experience at the Pearl Theatre.

The film, SEABOUND is built upon an Icelandic legend but takes place in contemporary times. Surrounded by sea and mountains, a little village is preparing for a wedding as a young sailor is marrying his beloved.

At the wedding night while the whole village celebrates, his beautiful bride disappears and the only finding is her dress lying in the seayard. The young sailor seeks for explanations and is soon involved in a series of events which he never could expect and surely can’t control. When he discovers where his bride is living, he reaches for her and starts a magic journey that affects his life forever. The story’s time period is a magic seven years, and one of the key roles is played by the powerful forces of nature which affect everyone’s life.

(Note: this is not to be confused with the film The Sea.)

The show starts at 7pm - admission is $5.00.

See you there!
