Mark Your Calendar for LCT 2008

It's a busy year for Lawnchair Theater and to make it easy for you to attend, we're posting as many dates in advance as we can.  Here's what's on the calendar so far:

May 31 "Lars and the Real Girl" A well-reviewed, but largely ignored bittersweet comedy from 2007.  To visit the official website for this movie, go here.

June 7 Movie TBD

June 14 "Once" A beautiful movie.  A beautiful soundtrack.  St. Paul Pioneer Press critic, Chris Hewitt, told me he thought it was a "nearly perfect" film.  Come see for yourself at the "Once" website.

July 19 Special Presentation: Contemporary India with Filmmaker/Host Simone Ahuja.  Ms. Ahuja will be on hand to answer questions and share some of the television programming her company, Blood Orange Media, has created to promote and educate about contemporary life in South Asia.  To learn more, go to blood-orange.com.

July 26 "Sweetland" Reunion. Director Ali Selim and Executive Producer Tom Lieberman will be here to answer questions about this lush and tender movie, which was 16 years in the making.  We also hope (fingers crossed) to have as many of the local cast and crew in attendance as possible, so you can rub elbows with the stars.  Stay tuned! And while you wait, watch the movie trailer here.

August 2 "Green Green Water" Local documentarian and former TV news reporter Dawn Mikkelson will join us to share her powerful story about the rarely talked about downside of Canada's "green" hydroelectric power.  To learn more, go here.

There will be other family friendly movies in later August (and possibly last minute offerings throughout the summer and fall), but right now, this is what our 14th season is looking like.
