A Small Family Business – National Theatre of London Live in HD
6:00 PM | Wednesday Jun 25, 2014
A riotous exposure of entrepreneurial greed by Olivier Award-winning playwright Alan Ayckbourn (Bedroom Farce, A Chorus of Disapproval). A Small Family Business returns to the National Theatre for the first time since its celebrated premiere in 1987, when it won the Evening Standard Award for Best Play. Jack McCracken: a man of principle in a corrupt world. But not for long. Moments after taking over his father-in-law’s business he’s approached by a private detective armed with some compromising information. Jack’s integrity fades away as he discovers his extended family to be thieves and adulterers, looting the business from their suburban homes. Rampant self-interest takes over and comic hysteria builds to a macabre climax. $

F for Fake – Film Screening
7:00 PM | Thursday Jun 26, 2014
Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In Orson Welles’s free-form documentary F for Fake, the legendary filmmaker (and self-described charlatan) gleefully engages the central preoccupation of his career—the tenuous line between truth and illusion, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of world-renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying cinematic journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes—not the least of whom is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, F for Fake is an inspired prank and a searching examination of the essential duplicity of cinema. FREE

FRIDAY
Andy Grammer, Andrew Ripp – Brendan James
8:00 PM | Friday Jun 27, 2014
From the buoyant Top 10 hit, “Keep Your Head Up” to the breezy “Fine By Me,” jubilant, hornlaced “The Pocket,” and emotionally-charged “You Should Know Better,” Grammer’s irresistible pop songs blend heartfelt, compelling lyrics with instantly unforgettable melodies. Think the relaxed vibe of Jason Mraz crossed with the rock soul of Maroon 5. Named one of Billboard’s 2011 Artists to Watch, performing live remains a communal experience for Grammer, who’s toured with the Plain White Ts, Colbie Caillat, Josh Kelley and Natasha Bedingfield, among others. Grammer wrote “Keep Your Head Up” as a letter of encouragement to himself after he’dspent an exhausting day street performing andhad little to money to show for it.
