French Film: Hiroshima Mon Amour. French Teacher, Susan Ridker, will present “Hiroshima, Mon Amour” (with subtitles) at Temple Israel, a movie directed by Alain Resnais with an Academy Award nominated screenplay by Marguerite Duras. The movie traces the brief affair of a Japanese architect and a French actress in Japan after World War II and is acclaimed as a milestone in the history of movie-making. Although the film was made in 1959, its themes of memory and what, if anything, can ever be truly represented still resonate today. Dinner, beverages, and movie theater treats will be served. Cost: $10/ticket. Please purchase your ticket and dinner here.
May 3 at 6:00 p.m.
Company One Theatre “Wig Out”. Join us for a lively evening at the Company One Theatre at the Oberon Theatre in Cambridge. By Tarell Alvin McCraney and directed by Summer Williams, WIG OUT!, is a “dazzling play about the desire to be desired, find your home, and out-walk the competition. While opposing Houses prepare for the catwalk showdown of the year, friendships are forged, loyalty is tested, and lovers are lured and lost. Sizzling with sincerity and style, and fueled by a Destiny’s Child-filled playlist, this exhilarating new work by the writer of the cinematic sensation Moonlight brings a riotous, defiant drag queen sub-culture of the early 2000s to glorious, vivid life.” We will grab a drink/apps after the show. RSVP if you can make it. Ticket price TBD.
