Miracle
Friday - Sunday, May 24 - 26
Starring Kurt Russell as Legendary Coach Herb Brooks

As the Penguins make their play-off run, The Strand is proud to present this inspiring film based on the true story of the 1980 US Mens Hockey Team, and their unlikely run for the Gold in the Winter Olympics.   For decades, the sport was dominated by Soviet Union, and not even NHL 'Dream Teams' could match their incredible skill, timing and drive on the ice.  The Russians appeared to be as invincible as ever heading into the Olympic trials.

Tragically, Herb Brooks died in a traffic accident as principal photography was taking place for this film's production.  A dedication is made to him prior to the ending credits.

Over 4,000 men auditioned for only 20 roles on the US Olympic Ice Hockey Team in the movie.  The actors were hired far more for their hockey skills than acting ability.  For most of them, this was their first movie work.

Ironically, during the actual ABC network broadcast of the game between the USA and Soviet Union at the 1980 Olympics, ABC ran two commercials for a made-for-TV film called Elvis, filmed in 1979, and starring Kurt Russell, who stars in this film as Herb Brooks!

Swiss Family Robinson - Family Film Saturday
Saturday Only!  May 25th  2:00pm

Starring John Mills, Dorothy McGuire & James MacArthur

 

Once a month, The Strand will present a Saturday matinee featuring a classic film that the entire family can enjoy.  This new tradition continues with Swiss Family Robinson.  This 1960 family adventure offers a unique take on the Robinson Crusoe classic novel.

 

A family enroute to New Guinea is shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island. They are forced to remain on the island because of the damage to the ship and the pirates that are roaming the islands. They create a home on the island (centering around a huge tree house) and explore the island and its wildlife. Plenty of adventure ensues as the family deals with issues of survival and pirates, and the brothers must learn how to live on the island with an uncertain future.

 

At the box office, Swiss Family Robinson took in roughly $40,000,000 (around $367,000,000 in today's dollars), making it one of the most successful family films ever made.

 

A huge fan of the film, George Lucas named Anakin Skywalker after the director of this film, Ken Annakin.  And this film’s climactic battle was a direct influence on the  final Ewok skirmish in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.

Rear Window
Friday - Sunday, May 31, June 1 & 2
Starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly

The Strand is pleased to bring another Hitchcock thriller back to the Big Screen!  James Stewart stars as wheelchair-bound photographer who spends his time watching his neighbors through his apartment's rear window.  But his voyeauristic tendencies lead him down a treacherous path as he comes to suscpect that one his neighbors may have murdered his wife.

The entire picture was shot on one set, which required months of planning and construction. The apartment-courtyard set measured 98 feet wide, 185 feet long and 40 feet high, and consisted of 31 apartments, each with electricity and running water, and eight of which were completely furnished. The courtyard was set 20 to 30 feet below stage level, and some of the buildings were the equivalent of five or six stories high.

The original story by Cornell Woolrich had no love story and no additional neighbors for L.B. Jeffries to spy on, and was created by Alfred Hitchcock and screenwriter John Michael Hayes. It's believed that the romantic aspect was inspired by the real life romance between war photographer Robert Capa and movie star Ingred Bergman.

Warm Bodies
Friday & Sunday ONLY!  June 7 & 9
Starring Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer & John Malkovich

There are comedies, horror films, romances, romantic comedies and even horror comedies.  But a romantic horror comedy that's based on......Shakespeare?  It's all true with Warm Bodies, which takes a comedic jab at the post-apocolyptic world of flesh-eating zombies.

After R (a highly unusual zombie) saves Julie from an attack, the two form a relationship that sets in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world.

The story is based loosely on Romeo and Juliet. "R" = "Romeo"; "Julie" = "Juliet; "Perry" = "Paris"; "M/Marcus" = "Mercutio"; "Nora" = Juliet's "Nurse" (the character of Nora is also a nurse). When R is talking to Julie outside her house the scene is referencing to the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet. R (Romeo) is talking to Julie (Juliet) on the balcony.

With all of genre mashup that's going on with this film, one might think it would turn out as an incohesive mess.  But Warm Bodies is a delightful film with a light-hearted approach, but without the slapstick found in the Scary Movie series.  And the chemistry between the lead roles of R and Julie is unmistakeable.  If you missed Warm Bodies in its first-run release, then you should 'warm up' to the idea of seeing it at The Strand!

Identity Thief
Friday - Sunday, June 14 - 16
Starring Jason Bateman & Melissa McCarthy

Mild-mannered businessman Sandy Patterson (Bateman) travels from Denver to Miami to confront the deceptively harmless-looking woman (McCarthy) who has been living it up after stealing Sandy's identity.

From Director Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Four Christmases) comes this salty comic farce, which was a major Box Office blockbuster in the 'R' rated film category. 

Sandy Patterson gets a nice call confirming his name and other identifying information. The next thing he knows, a spa in Florida is reminding him of his appointment, and his credit cards are maxed out. With his identity stolen, Sandy leaves his wife, kids and job to literally bring the thief to justice in Colorado. But keeping tabs on the other Sandy and run-ins with bounty hunters, is harder than he was expecting, and ultimately the cross-country trip is going to find both Sandys learning life tips from one another.

White Girls:  A Cabaret  -  Live On Stage!
Saturday ONLY!  June 29  8:00pm
Starring Paula & Tessa White with Musical Director Nathan Brewer

Twin sisters, PAULA AND TESSA WHITE, perform "WHITE GIRLS: A CABARET" with Zelienople native, NATHAN BREWER.  Paula, Tessa, and Nathan have taken their show from New York City venues including The Duplex, Roses Turn, and The Reprise Room, to Pittsburgh, PA; New York State, Arizona, New Jersey, Texas & Florida!

Rob Lester of Cabaret Scenes Magazine writes:  "The non-identical White twins prove that "the whole is more than the sum of the parts" (even when the parts are terrific) applies to both great musical notes and zygotes. Dressed in leather corset and lace, boisterous, winking Tessa contrasts with more reserved, reflective Paula, with her own slower-burning flame.  Talented, ultra-charismatic musical director Nathan Brewer, frequently singing along, deserves more of a solo spotlight. 

Join Paula, Tessa and Zelienople native Nathan, along with a host of surprise guests, for this benefit performance with proceeds supporting the non-profit Strand Theater Initiative.

Exclusive Engagement!

Friday ONLY!  August 16  7:30pm
Award-Winning Elvis Tribute Concert

In honor of The King's passing, The Strand is proud to present Walt Sanders & The Cadillac Band for this outstanding Elvis tribute concert.  Walt brings a fresh perspective to an age old tradition, and sets out to revolutionize the tribute artist industry. Walt DOES NOT pretend to be Elvis, although he performs from his heart as Elvis did. There is a unique quality to Walt that puts his tribute above all others.
  
Hailed by many as "as close as it gets."  Walt Sanders along with The Cadillac Band portrays Elvis as no other can.  He's been a life-long Elvis fan and has been singing to his records as long as he can remember.  As for the members of The Cadillac Band, they were all raised on the music of the era and have a deep appreciation for what Walt is trying to accomplish: keeping the memory of Elvis alive.

 

Most recently, the group was featured on Cleveland's number-one-rated morning news program, Fox 8.  Walt was also featured on Toledo's 24 News.  He has taken part in many Elvis impersonator contests across the United States and Canada, ranking highly in each.

 

Walt takes absolute pride in his craft, making sure not to exaggerate or mock "The King," but rather to pay him tribute and respect.
