Let's Do the Time Warp Again, Vicksburg

 

The Rocky Horror Show It's back! Yes Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show returns to the stage of the Strand Theatre with old friends as well as fresh blood as they attempt, once more, to answer the question: "They can't really do that here, can they." Answer: Fasten your seatbelt... Brad, Janet, Dr. Scott, Eddie, Magenta, Columbia, Riff Raff, the Transylvanians, and of course, Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Rocky himself will be at the Strand to do the Time Warp. Again. Your presence is required. "Like a late night double feature picture show...' 'I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey...' 'Dammit Janet!' 'The master is having one of his affairs...' 'I'm just a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania...' 'We'll say where we are and go back to the car...' 'He thought you were the Candyman...'' 'I see you shiver with antici...pation...' 'You're a hotdog, but you better not try to hurt her, Frankfurter...' 'Come up to the lab, see what's on the slab...' 'In just 7 days, I can make you a man...' 'And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space... and meaning' 'It's just a jump to the left! And then a step to the riiiight!' Performances: Friday, October 22 at 7:30 PM Saturday, October 23 at 7:30 PM

Coming to the Strand 

Saturday, October 16 at 7 PM.

"The Mustangs: America's Wild Horses" is a feature documentary that is executive produced by Robert Redford, Patti Scialfa Springsteen and Jessica Springsteen. 

Featuring music by Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nelson.

This film takes audiences on an odyssey throughout America to places few people have seen or even know about. There are more than 80,000 wild horses on our federal lands and more than50,000 in government. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Philipps says, "The wild horse is so ingrained in the American imagination that even for those who have never seen one know what it stands for: fierce independence, unbridled freedom, the bedrock ideals of the nation. From car ads to high school mascots, the wild horse-popularly known as the mustang-is the enduring icon of America. But in modern times it has become entangled in controversy and bureaucracy, and now its future is in question. "Watching this movie will make you fall in love with America all over again and understand why the protection of our wild horses and our public lands are worth fighting for.

The Mustangs in Fests The film won Best Documentary at the Houston World Fest and the LA Film Festival and won the Audience Choice Award at the San Diego Film Festival.

It screened at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and Malibu Film Festival and was an official selection in 10 other festivals.

Tickets available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse for $10.

Van Gogh Sunflowers...at the Strand

Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers

Saturday, September 4 at 7 PM

The greatest story ever painted.

Directed by David Bickerstaff
Running time 85 mins

● A unique opportunity to see, as never before, this series of spectacular paintings.
● Features five of the famous Arles Sunflowers from collections in London, Philadelphia, Tokyo, Munich and Amsterdam.

Synopsis

Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers are among his most famous works, and are some of the most iconic paintings in the world. In an extraordinary exhibition, the Van Gogh Museum took a new and revealing look at the five publicly-owned versions of sunflowers in a vase. And once again, the Van Gogh museum opened its doors exclusively to Exhibition on Screen.

They are immediately recognisable, but our film goes beyond the surface to explore the many questions and mysteries that surround these works. Why, for example, did Van Gogh choose the exotic sunflower with its long stem and golden crown? Indeed, when did the flower itself arrive in Europe and how had previous artists reacted to it? What was Van Gogh trying to say with his works and how does that differ from version to version? And what secrets did scientists discover when they analysed the work in detail? All is revealed in this fascinating film, which travelled beyond Amsterdam to Tokyo, Philadelphia, London and Munich to film, in incredible high-definition detail, all five of the works.

Each painting is different and has its own unique story, spanning one of the most famous and turbulent periods in art history. All five paintings are also now considered to be in such a delicate state that there will never be a show with all five alongside one another ever again. Only in this film will you have a chance to see that on the screen – in our virtual exhibition. In doing so, the film brings to audiences many new levels of understanding both about the paintings and about Vincent van Gogh.

Tickets: $12. Available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse and online at https://sunflowers.brownpapertickets.com/ 

2 movies: The Beatles Revolver plus Secret movie: The Love Witch...

Deconstructing the Beatles Revolver

Strand Theatre

Saturday, August 28 at 7 PM

We continue our series of lectures on film about Beatle albums with Deconstructing the Beatles Revolver. When we showed the Rubber Soul edition of this series Bill Justice approached me as soon as it ended to say he wanted to sponsor this next chapter.

In “Deconstructing The Beatles’ Revolver,” composer/producer Scott Freiman takes Beatles fans young and old into the studio with The Beatles as they create their seminal 1966 album, Revolver.

In many music polls, Revolver is rated the top album of all time. The 1966 album launched a period of studio experimentation for The Beatles that coincided with their decision to stop performing live. With memorable songs, such as “Eleanor Rigby,” “Yellow Submarine,” and “Tomorrow Never Knows,” The Beatles pushed popular music to a place it had never been before.

This visual lecture on screen explores the groundbreaking production techniques that went into creating this landmark piece of music history. In addition to many of the tracks from Revolver, Mr. Freiman will also explore the creation of two other songs recorded during the same time period, “Paperback Writer” and “Rain.”

Mr. Freiman conducts an educational journey into the creative process of The Beatles performances and recording sessions.

Join us for this look into the Beatles' creativity. Advance tickets are $10 and will be available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse. or online: revolver.brownpapertickets.com 

But there's more!!!!

Elissa Yeates has chosen the next film in our secret movie series...The Love Witch...

The Love Witch

In our latest secret movie, a modern-day witch uses spells and magic to get men to fall in love with her, in a tribute to 1960s Technicolor thrillers.

Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, and then picks up men and seduces them. However her spells work too well, and she ends up with a string of hapless victims. When she finally meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved will drive her to...well, come see it.

With a visual style that pays tribute to Technicolor thrillers of the ‘60s, THE LOVE WITCH explores female fantasy and the repercussions of pathological narcissism.
