FELA! The Musical - FELA! First, you'll feel it in your feet.
Then you'll feel it in your soul.
That's the undeniable power of FELA!
FELA! is both rave and theatrical wonder. Thanks to Fela's captivating music and the visionary direction and choreography of Tony Award® winner Bill T. Jones, this tale of courage, passion and love will shake you: body and soul. FELA! is based on the life of legendary musician and activist Fela Kuti who created Afrobeat, a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies. Grammy Award-winner Michelle Williams, best known as part of the chart-topping pop group Destiny's Child, stars in this hit Broadway musical that has thrilled audiences across the world.

THE GRADUATE

[Running time: 106 minutes]
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00 | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00 (ticket prices include $2.00 facility fee)
THE GRADUATE (1967) - Recent college graduate Ben Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) has no idea what to do with his life, and is struggling to find his identity. Things only get worse for Ben when the older Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), the wife of his father's business partner, starts making advances towards him. When Ben falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter Elaine (Katherine Ross), he finds it will take more than a college degree to resolve matters. Mike Nichols won the Oscar for Best Director in this quintessential '60s film about the loss of innocence, the stupefying effects of suburbia, and the irrelevance of parental guidance that spoke to a younger generation of movie viewers who knew that 20 going on 21 was not necessarily “a helluva good age to be.” And oh yes, you'll leave the Paramount humming the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack!

BEING THERE

[Running time: 130 minutes]

All Tickets: $5.00 (ticket prices include $2.00 facility fee)
BEING THERE (1979) - An autistic Chance (Peter Sellers) has spent all his life working as a gardener in the Washington D.C. house of an old man. When the man dies, Chance is put out on the street with no knowledge of the world except what he has learned from television. Upon being adopted by a dying aristocrat and his young wife, Eve (Shirley McLaine), Chance - or Chauncey Gardener, as he comes to be known - is taken as a political guru, largely because his autism prompts him to respond to everything unemotionally and literally - and solely in the context of television shows and gardening. Some of the most wonderful moments of the film include Shirley McLaine trying to introduce Chance to the concept of romance, and Chance as the hit of the Washington cocktail party circuit. Director Hal Ashby's adaptation of Jerzy Kozinski's original novel is a triumph of comic film. And, of course, this is the role Peter Sellers was born to play! [more...]

GODZILLA (1954) - The roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It's also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population's fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels. A thrilling, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cult phenomenon, Godzilla is not to be missed! [more...]

NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959) - Classic Alfred Hitchcock: suspense, intrigue, comedy, humor. A sleekly handsome Cary Grant as hapless advertising executive Roger Thornhill is the perfect match for the innocent (or is she?) Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint) and the sinister Phillip Vandamn (James Mason). As Roger criss-crosses the country on the run from a mysterious cabal of spies, he encounters some of the great Alfred Hitchcock's most iconic set pieces - including the famous crop duster scene! And, of course, the film's finale on Mount Rushmore is one of cinema's greatest climaxes. Academy Awards for Best Writing, for Best Art Direction, and for Best Film Editing. [more...]
