Join us for our annual Movie Nights in Sundance Square Plaza.

Movies are every Thursday this summer starting June 7 through July 14. Movies begin at 7:30 p.m.

Tonight our feature film is You’ve Got Mail (1998) starring Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton and Dave Chappelle.  The film tells of Kathleen Kelly, who owns a children’s bookstore in New York.  It is a small but profitable labor of love – until Foxbooks, a mega-chain of super-sized bookstores, begins building across the street.  Joe Fox, an executive with the family-owned firm, is directly responsible for this particular branch.  Kathleen despises Joe and everything he seems to stand for.  The future of her very livelihood is in doubt.  When Kathleen and Joe are not working, they are logged onto their respective computers, where they’ve each met a wonderful friend.  No one else has shared-or is even aware of-their intimate, anonymous electronic conversations that begin with the magic words “you’ve got mail.”

Upcoming films include:
July 5 – Bottle Shock
July 12 – Peter Rabbit (new release)

Making sense of the world is often too complicated.  Sometimes making a list of Every Brilliant Thing allows us to simplify our existence.  Written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, this theatrical experience engages the audience with laughter as the list grows longer and longer.  This story reminds us to forgive often, love always, and ponder:  what is on our list?
