"For a generation too young to remember National Geographic specials and Disney's True-Life Adventures, [this] should be an exciting journey through our natural world. "

– Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune

Partially constructed from the groundbreaking BBC and Discovery Channel television series PLANET EARTH, EARTH is a ravishing and often gut- wrenching tale of natural survival and beauty. Five years in the making (including 250 days of aerial footage shot from planes, helicopters, and two-man balloons) and narrated by actor James Earl Jones, EARTH follows the trials of three families of polar bears, elephants, and whales. Though separated by seasons and continents, each family will cross great lengths and confront numerous hardships.

The second of Dan Brown's novels to be brought to the big screen by the tandem of Ron Howard and Tom Hanks, but more than enough intense action to keep the eyes of the audience as busy as their minds. The details of the plot are as diabolical as any in Hollywood history: after the pope's death, a nefarious organization stashes an antimatter bomb somewhere in the Vatican, threatening to annihilate the conclave of cardinals who are meeting to elect the papal successor. 
To pass the time until the bomb will detonate, the enemy begins to torture and kill a few of the individual cardinals, but there is a pattern to the grotesque executions, involving hidden sculptural symbols and secret architectural clues.

2 hrs 18 min. Rated: PG-13 for sequences of violence, disturbing images and thematic material

Live: THE WEDDING SINGER

Times TBA

Tickets TBA

It's 1985 and rock‐star wannabe Robbie Heart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand new score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980's, THE WEDDING SINGER takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.

We are proud to have talented actors from throughout the region involved in this production. Filling the leading roles are Matthew Vitticore as Robbie, Laura D. Feligno as Julia, Patrick Fegley as Sammy, Megan Craver as Holly and Ian Johnson as George. The supporting roles will be played by Lorelei Mellon as Rosie, Rae Stanley as Linda, Chad Bourne as Glen, and Anne Brown as Angie. The ensemble fills over 40 distinct character roles from crazy wedding guests to Ronald Reagan impersonators. Giving life to those characters will be Fran Acker, Kenny Baker, Angela Beniamino, Emily Chard, Mariah Ernhout, Suzamie Farnsworth, Lisa Feligno, Dewey Fleszar, Margaret Griffin, Randy Hample, Ashley Hyjer, Todd Lamar, Ted Liddell, Ian Lootens, RJ Rapoza, Holly Smith, Lauren Wilsey. The award‐winning production team is led by Director / Choereographer Pam Rapoza and Music Director Annie Bachman.

STAR TREK begins with an attack by an impossibly advanced Romulan ship captained by the tattooed, snarling Nero (Eric Bana). Among the survivors is the infant version of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), who grows up to wreak havoc on the Iowa countryside. When Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) meets an adult Kirk, he encourages him to join Starfleet, giving him the opportunity to meet Spock (Zachary Quinto), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), and the rest of the characters audiences have loved for decades. STAR TREK manages the nearly impossible: it pleases hardcore fans with plenty of in-jokes and references (and an appearance by the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy), but it doesn't alienate newcomers with tons of technobabble. The action and effects rank with any other top-tier summer blockbuster, but there's plenty of humor to balance the excitement.

2 hrs 7 mins PG-13 (for sci-fi action and violence, and brief sexual content)

"The movie, which has both bloody violence and tender romance, will remind you of "City of God" meets "Under the Same Moon." It is another shining example of the best that independent filmmaking has to offer, much like last year's "Frozen River. "

– Keith Cohen Entertainment Spectrum

Sin Nombre tells the story of Sayra (Paulina Gaitan), a teenager living in Honduras, and hungering for a brighter future. A reunion with her long- estranged father gives Sayra her only real option -- emigrating with her father and her uncle into Mexico and then the United States, where her father now has a new family. The journey is full of unexpected events and twists.
