Struggling actress Madeleine (Nadia Terezkiewicz) and her best friend Pauline (Rebecca Marder), an unemployed lawyer, live in a cramped flat and owe five months’ rent. <br /><br />Opportunity knocks after a lascivious theatrical producer who made an inappropriate advance towards Madeleine turns up dead. Madeleine stands trial for murder and ascends to infamous stardom, with Pauline serving as defense counsel and media circus ringmaster. A new life of fame, wealth, and tabloid celebrity awaits until the truth comes out. <br /><br />Adapted from a 1934 play by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil and featuring a murder’s row of a supporting cast including Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon, and Fabrice Luchini, The Crime Is Mine is a rollicking farce and scabrous satire with a wily feminist edge from one of French cinema’s most chameleonic stylists, <br /><br /><a href="https://youtu.be/cEI0IGFdxoc">Watch the trailer: </a><br /><br />Tickets are $10 at the door, and available in advance at Highway 61 Coffeehouse for $9 each.<br /><br />And...the POPCORN IS FREE!!!<br /><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367016964689731682.post-23595884855165881332024-02-09T07:10:00.000-08:002024-02-09T07:10:18.954-08:00Best of Enemies onstage at the Strand<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Best of Enemies</span><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTOPKmjo7gfmYpaoVAgNEVAzkXVDMDeGKldr3eh-6iE47ZxPTPzLeJ3L6pNrfLrxa6iVy02ki_cxTorjkPTfVfuobBu1Uu_QSpObFIxv2fxmSQyr_EodYGTgkLJqEFmMPDkHN4lxjeTlQCUJcdAG6b7y2HQKeDxSig4BK3sBnlzwjOpDjRUayDptvu5L8/s1661/boe%20program%20image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1281" data-original-width="1661" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTOPKmjo7gfmYpaoVAgNEVAzkXVDMDeGKldr3eh-6iE47ZxPTPzLeJ3L6pNrfLrxa6iVy02ki_cxTorjkPTfVfuobBu1Uu_QSpObFIxv2fxmSQyr_EodYGTgkLJqEFmMPDkHN4lxjeTlQCUJcdAG6b7y2HQKeDxSig4BK3sBnlzwjOpDjRUayDptvu5L8/w400-h309/boe%20program%20image.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs"><span style="font-size: large;">Live onstage at the Strand...</span></div><div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Best of Enemies by Mark St. Germain</span></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><span style="font-size: large;">Based

of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, <i>Seven Samurai </i>(Shichinin
no samurai) tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose
desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from
invading bandits. This 1954 thrill ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring
legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves
philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless
action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and
hope.</span></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><span style="font-size: medium;">Kurosawa
was surely inspired by American Westerns, but his film inspired a whole
generation of Directors in the U.S., including Spielberg, Scorsese,
Lucas, and more. When it was released in America, it was called <i>The
Magnificent Seven</i> which was remade by John Sturges in 1960, followed by several sequels, and then remade again by Antoine Fuqua in 2016.<br /></span></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
2022 Sight and Sound poll calls <i>Seven Samurai </i>the 20th best film ever
made, and a recent book about the film sums up its influence: <i>Everything
I Know about Filmmaking I Learned Watching Seven Samurai.</i> This is a
rare opportunity to see this film on a big screen, and a great way to
spend a Sunday afternoon. But be warned: if it's cold out, it will be

<p style="margin: 0;">In the second part of the Tolkien trilogy, Frodo
Baggins and the other members of the Fellowship continue on their sacred
quest to destroy the One Ring--but on separate paths. Their destinies
lie at two towers--Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupt wizard
Saruman awaits, and Sauron's fortress at Barad-dur, deep within the dark
lands of Mordor.</p>

a dramatic tale about a broken man groomed for a terrorist attack is
confronted by a local lad who sees things differently, resonated with
viewers around the world. <b>Manhattan Short</b> medal winners are selected by voters attending the festival in theatrical venues around the world.</p><p style="font-size: 17px; margin: 25px;"> <i>“For <b>The Stupid Boy</b> to win - a film about the power of love
and kindness in response to nationalism, racism and hatred - means so
much, especially today. It is a film for peace, in a world waking up to
the news of another war; where there are so many atrocities and so much
pain, it dares to believe a different way - a way that loves, even when
it might seem stupid to do so. And in doing so, it offers hope. The fact
that thousands of people, in hundreds of venues around the world have
voted for this story gives me hope. Perhaps we can each dare to believe
in love again. Perhaps we can each find ways of looking for it, even in
the worst situations. Thank you so much Nick and all the Manhattan team.
I am so moved by this and so grateful to you and to all the people that
voted.”</i><br />—Phil Dunn </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV0e-UCexhBBQ3VXnLk8LihbVbJwNNK4BY2Kh9NnlVFV2JX7T49dxT8oQ_fEaktfiqRic4dXCShNKfAuOl16iT77deKjg70xlOwXfPH_s6XDhZHRoN6ErSs2jUmk6jW88rqmFMq6slt9EVxKMVNLaOiZqE1sDhwJLs7bwuBLy9dzKy4vX39WZ1OpkaABw/s680/voice%20activated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="680" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV0e-UCexhBBQ3VXnLk8LihbVbJwNNK4BY2Kh9NnlVFV2JX7T49dxT8oQ_fEaktfiqRic4dXCShNKfAuOl16iT77deKjg70xlOwXfPH_s6XDhZHRoN6ErSs2jUmk6jW88rqmFMq6slt9EVxKMVNLaOiZqE1sDhwJLs7bwuBLy9dzKy4vX39WZ1OpkaABw/s320/voice%20activated.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="font-size: 17px; margin: 25px;"></p>

the same show twice, but they are presenting an encore run of Avenue Q,
which was last at the Strand in 2017. "It was a popular and successful
show back then, and many have encouraged us to bring it back," according
to Jack Burns, director of the show (then and now). "But I think the
most influential opinions were of the puppets themselves. And Paul
Salgado, who is producing the show." Avenue Q is a musical comedy which
looks a lot like an episode of Sesame Street. It takes place on a city
block and features young people who need life lessons, which are
supplied by a group of singing puppets. But Avenue Q has definitely not
been authorized or approved by Jim Henson Company or Sesame Workshop,
which have no responsibility for its content. The characters who need
advice are twenty somethings, and the the lessons they learn are about
becoming adults. "So, I'd call it R rated: not for kids, in other
words."</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The
show involves a dozen or more puppets which all had to be hand made by
Burns and a number of volunteers he refers to as the Acme Puppet
Factory. "We could have rented puppets, but where's the fun in that?
First we had to make them, then we had to figure out how to effectively
operate them while singing, talking, and acting. Stacey Schrader was our
puppeteering coach first time around. So, after the show was over, we
put all the puppets in the balcony where they've been watching whatever
we do for the last six years. They wanted back on the stage. I could see
it in their eyes."</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">In
addition to all the puppets, Tessa Scandizzo returns as Kate Monster,
along with Cameron Gates as Trekkie Monster, and Brian T. Sessums as
Rod. New cast members had to be found for several roles including Crorey
Lawton as Princeton; Nia R. Hurst as Gary Coleman; Izvistia Robertson
as Christmas Eve; Hunter Weeks as Brian; Mark Jourdan as Nicky; and
Ashley Schutt as Lucy.<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Advance

it's not the grandest, or most prestigious. It's undeniably funky. But
we are justifiably proud of the fun, educational, sobering, mystifying
and even entertaining things we bring to Vicksburg: Films you may have

amazing community theater... And we're always gratified when people
travel from the surrounding counties and parishes to see something here
they couldn't otherwise find.</span></p>

uncover the racially complex history of Chinese immigrants in the segregated South.</div>

film provides a window into the struggles of Chinese immigrants in the
American South during the late 1800s to mid-1900s and the discrimination
they faced. The Chiu family’s history demonstrates how exclusionary
immigration laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 separated their
family for generations. This deeply moving and unforgettable story
offers a poignant and important perspective on race relations, immigration and American identity.</div>

up here in Vicksburg, we were very aware of the dozens of Chinese
American families who lived here, said Daniel Boone, film programmer for
the Strand "They often owned and operated small neighborhood grocery
stores throughout the city. We shopped in the stores, because they were
convenient, and the owner's kids were our classmates. This film tells
the larger story of how all that came to be and what happened in later
years. Being able to be present another Mississippi story which helps us
understand the fabric of this place we call home is part of what we see
as our mission as a community theater."<br />
