Always Eventful

Blue Note Records is an American jazz record label, established in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis. It derives its name from the characteristic “blue notes” of jazz and the blues. Some of the most influential artists and music from Coltrane to Monk to Coleman just to name a few were Blue Note staples. Pete Clagett and Chris Milyo pay tribute to this legendary label that changed the world of music. Join us for this great, weekly series! And, there’s no cover charge!

“Mary Poppins Returns” is our feature film this evening.  The 2018 American musical fantasy film is directed by Rob Marshall and stars Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Julie Walters, Dick Van Dyke, Angela Lansbury, Colin Firth and Meryl Streep.  Set in the 1930s London, twenty-five years after the events of the original film, it sees Mary Poppins, the former nanny of Jane and Michael Banks, returning after a family tragedy.  Michael, now as an adult bank teller with three children, learns that his house will be repossessed in five days unless he can pay back a loan.  His only hope is to find a missing certificate that shows proof of valuable shares that his father left him years earlier.  Just as all seems lost, Michael and his sister receive the surprise of a lifetime when Mary arrives to save the day and take the Banks family on a magical, fun-filled adventure.

You’re invited to Movies at the Museum:  Experience a Return to Mother Nature!

Whether through canoeing, hiking, or camping, Frederic Remington was a man who loved the outdoors.  The artist once wrote a friend, “if I had money enough I would live in a bark camp the year round.”  The artworks on display in our current exhibit, Another Frontier:  Frederic Remington’s East, depict landscapes with which the artist was familiar and personally enjoyed, from forested fields to choppy river waters.  Come join this summer as participants view movies that both celebrate and revere the roles of Mother Nature.  Free but registration is required.  Start time is 6:30 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m.

Join us in Sundance Square Plaza for FREE Yoga classes (All Levels Welcome).
Presented by Sundance Square.

This taut, incendiary drama explores the story of a respected African-American police officer who arrests a white man on suspicion of attempted car theft.  The suspect taunts the officer with racist insults and verbal attacks until, in the grip of uncontrollable rage, the officer loses his cool and guns down his handcuffed antagonist.  There are no witnesses; the cop can probably get away with it.  Does he turn himself in or does he cover himself?  The play focuses on the officer’s moral dilemma:  Should he tell the truth about the slaying or should he let the matter slide away as self-defense?  For more information, visit http://www.jubileetheatre.org .
