Aged to Perfection at the Old Town Playhouse
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Ever Young will be directed by Billie Thompson and Jan Dalton will direct Lacrimae Rerum. Both are veterans of Old Town Playhouse and are committed to the new venture, along with their casts and the support people who are making the evening happen.
Aged to Perfection is a new program of the Old Town Playhouse that was developed to actively engage seniors 55 and older within both the Playhouse and the larger community in theatrical performance and education. This first evening was developed to introduce the concept and begin to get people involved.
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Playing at 1:30, 4:00, 6:30 and 9:00.
2011/UK/PG-13/107 min
Director: Lasse Hallström
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, Kristin Scott Thomas
A visionary sheik believes his passion for the peaceful pastime of salmon fishing can enrich the lives of his people, and he dreams of bringing the sport to the not so fish-friendly desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative (Emily Blunt) to turn the dream into reality, an extraordinary feat that will require the involvement of Britain’s leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) who happens to think the project both absurd and unachievable. That is, until the Prime Minister’s overzealous press secretary latches on to it as a ‘good will’ story. Now, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.
“A surprisingly lush, endearing little film, in which a swelling sense of
romanticism thoroughly banishes even the most far-fetched improbabilities.”
-Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
“It’s an uplifting, even enchanting, smile-inducer.”
-Mike Scott, New Orleans Times-Picayune
“A distinct delight, brimming over with spirit and surprise.”
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The Snows of Kilimanjaro
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Playing at 11 am – 25 Cent Wednesday Classic Matinee
1952/USA/NR/114 min
Director: Henry King
Cast: Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward and Ava Gardner
Gregory Peck plays a character based, in decidedly unflattering fashion, on F. Scott Fitzgerald. While hunting in the African mountains in the company of his faithful lady friend Susan Hayward, Peck is seriously wounded; in fact, it doesn’t look as though he’ll survive the night. In the few hours he has left, Peck reflects upon what he considers a wasted life. Having aspired to be the Great American Novelist, Peck has only turned out money-making drivel. As for his lost romance with his late wife Ava Gardner, Peck still cannot figure out what went wrong. The Hemingway original ended with the Peck character dying from his wounds; producer Darryl F. Zanuck wouldn’t hear of this, preferring that Peck survive with the resolve to write something of lasting value. The Technicolor location photography of Leon Shamroy and the rumbling musical score of Bernard Herrmann are the main attractions of The Snows of Kilimanjaro.
