The Sky Hempy Keyboard Series returns to the SCA with Portuguese pianist Alexandra Mascolo-David who will perform Brazilian waltzes during this informal, interactive keyboard concert.

She is in the forefront of presenting Mignone’s piano music, and her performances, especially of his “Valsas brasileiras” (Brazilian Waltzes), have been widely praised.
Mascolo-David also recently received a Research Excellence Grant from Central Michigan University in the amount of $95,000 to record Francisco Mignone’s Brazilian Fantasies for piano and orchestra with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra for the White Pine Music recording label.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Real To Reel Series: Miss Representation

Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss Representation (90 min; TV-14 DL) uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see.
Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself.
Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists and academics, like Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem build momentum as Miss Representation accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leave the audience shaken and armed with a new perspective.
Tickets are available at the door.

Saugatuck Douglas Library Movie Night-"Breakfast At Tiffany's"
Date: Thursday, January 19, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 pm End Time: 9:00 pm
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
In the early morning, a taxi pulls up at Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue in New York City and Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) emerges. She eats a pastry and drinks coffee while standing outside the shop window, then strolls home. At her apartment building, she fends off her date from the disastrous night before, who has been waiting in his car all night. The next morning, she is awakened by new tenant Paul Varjak (George Peppard) ringing the doorbell. The pair chat as she dresses to leave for her weekly visit to Sally Tomato (Alan Reed), a mobster incarcerated at Sing Sing prison. She is paid to pass on coded messages for his drug ring but plays dumb regarding her visits.
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly.As she is leaving for Sing Sing, Holly is introduced to Paul's "decorator", wealthy older woman Emily Eustace Failenson (Patricia Neal), who Paul nicknames "2E". That night, Holly goes out onto the building's fire escape to elude an overly eager date. She peeks into Paul's apartment and sees 2E leaving money and kissing Paul goodbye. After 2E leaves, Holly enters Paul's apartment and learns that he is a writer who has not had anything published in five years since writing a book of vignettes titled Nine Lives. Holly, in turn, explains that she is trying to save money in order to support her brother, Fred, when he gets out of the Army. The pair fall asleep, but are awoken when Holly has a nightmare about Fred and leaves the apartment. She later buys Paul a new typewriter ribbon to apologise and invites him to a party at her apartment. At the party, Paul meets her Hollywood agent, O.J. Berman (Martin Balsam), who describes Holly's transformation from country girl into Manhattan socialite. He is also introduced to José da Silva Pereira (José Luis de Vilallonga), a rich Brazilian, and Rusty Trawler (Stanley Adams), a rich American.
In the days that follow, Paul and Holly become closer. One day, 2E enters Paul's apartment, worried that she is being followed. Paul tells her that he will investigate and eventually confronts the man, who introduces himself as "Doc" Golightly (Buddy Ebsen), Holly's husband. Doc explains that Holly's real name is Lula Mae Barnes, whom he married when she was 14, and that he would like to take her back to Texas. After Paul reunites Holly and Doc, she tells Paul the marriage was annulled and asks him to accompany her and Doc to the bus station. There, she tells Doc she is not returning. He tells her that if she does not return, he will not support Fred on his imminent return from the Army. She still refuses, and tells him she plans for Fred to live with her in New York. Doc leaves brokenhearted.
After drinking at a club, Paul and Holly return to her apartment, where she drunkenly tells him that she plans to marry Rusty Trawler for his money. A few days later, Paul learns that one of his short stories has been accepted for publication. On the way to tell Holly, he sees the newspaper at her door, its headline stating that Trawler has married someone else. Holly and Paul agree to spend the day together, taking turns doing things that each has never done before. At Tiffany's, Paul has the ring from Doc Golightly's box of Cracker Jack engraved as a present for Holly. After spending the night together, he awakens to find that she has returned to her apartment. Soon afterwards, Paul ends his relationship with 2E.
Holly schemes to marry José for his money, which angers Paul who has firmly decided on his love for her. After Holly and José return to her apartment to find a telegram notifying her of Fred's death, she trashes her apartment in grief, her behavior disturbing José. Months later, Paul has moved out of the building. He is invited to dinner by Holly, who is leaving the next morning for Brazil. However, they are soon arrested by police in connection with Sally's drug ring and taken to the 19th precinct. Yunioshi re-introduced the unmentioned theme from the Capote novel and insinuated that they are smoking narcotics when they were arrested. Holly spends the night in lock-up.
The next morning, Holly is released on bail with help from O.J. and finds Paul waiting in a taxi for her outside. He has her cat and a letter from José explaining he must end their relationship due to her arrest. Holly insists she will go to Brazil anyway and releases the cat from the taxi into the rain. Paul confronts Holly about her behavior and leaves the cab, tossing the ring he had engraved for her into her lap and telling her to examine her life. She quickly runs after him and together they find the cat, look into each other's eyes and embrace

Curated by Ken Carls & Jim Schmiechen
OPENING RECEPTION Saturday January 14, 2012, 6-8 pm
This stunning exhibit showcases people and local life in Saugatuck and Douglas as captured by notable Time-Life reporter and photographer Bill Simmons throughout 1941-1960.
When he died in 1966, photographer Bill Simmons left nearly 3,000 photographs documenting life in Saugatuck and Douglas from 1940 to 1961— filed away in envelopes, numbered, named, and placed in two wood boxes, some with date and identifying information.
Making up what must be one of the largest “photo shoots” of any mid-century American town, the collection disappeared until it was acquired by the Saugatuck-Douglas Historical Society in 1998.
This exhibition presents photographs from that collection—some of which are being shown for the first time.
Presented in partnership with the Saugatuck – Douglas Historical Society; free admission.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents "Everyday People"
Date: Saturday, January 14, 2012
Start Time: 8:00 pm
Location: Saugatuck Center For The Arts
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
$10
Back by popular demand, “everydayPeople” will be shown at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts on January 14, 2012!
Directed by Jeff and Steve Croley and produced by Bridget McCormack, “everydayPeople” is a unique documentary focusing on the small West Michigan villages of Saugatuck and Douglas (nestled next to each other along the Kalamazoo River with populations of 1,000), both of which have a substantial population of gay and lesbian residents. The film attempts to document the spirit of the communities while also exploring both how and why gays and straights get along so well here.
The film premiered at the SCA in September to a sold-out audience, and we are thrilled to offer a second opportunity for our community to view this intriguing film.
Guests are encouraged to buy their tickets early as they are going quickly and limited seating is available.
More about everydayPeople:
As newcomers to the community (Croley and McCormack have a second home in Douglas; their primary residence is Ann Arbor, Michigan), Croley and McCormack were struck by the seemingly unusual social integration of gays and straights. People in Saugatuck and Douglas don’t merely tolerate one another, rather the two groups are closely integrated—politically, economically, socially, religiously, among other ways. Interestingly, residents of the area are not identified firstly in sexual-identity terms, though a person’s sexual identity is generally no secret either.
Deep friendships, mixed with growing curiosity about this social integration (particularly at a time of the heated “culture wars” in which sexual-identity politics are an important and destructive force) led to the creation of this documentary about Saugatuck and Douglas. The film attempts to document the spirit of the communities while also exploring both how and why gays and straights get along so well here. Intriguingly, the integration is not recent. The film looks at historical influences and explores various possible explanations—including the influence of art and the nearby art academy, economic incentives, the advantages of small town size, and the consequence of a resort mentality, as well as other sociological factors. It does so in part by asking residents—from farmers to mayors—how they themselves account for longstanding gay-straight integration in these small, mainly rural communities.
Premier Sponsors for “everydayPeople” include Everyday People Café- Matt Balmer, Mark Davis, Jim Sellman-Shoreline Realtors, Restaurant Toulouse / Chequers, and Herman Miller.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night "This Is The Army"
Date: Tuesday, January 10, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film series continues Jan. 10 with "This Is the Army," a big-cast musical dreamed up by Irving Berlin to boost morale during World War II.

Sabrina Fairchild (Hepburn) is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur, Thomas (John Williams), and has been in love with David Larrabee (Holden) all her life. David is an oft-married, idle playboy, crazy for women, who has never noticed Sabrina, much to her and the staff's dismay. Sabrina then attends culinary school in Paris and returns as an attractive and sophisticated woman.
Hepburn sings "La vie en rose" (French for "Life in Pink" a reference to seeing the world through rose-colored glasses), the signature song of French singer Édith Piaf — which had been highly popular in the English-speaking world as well as in France, since Piaf came out with it in 1946. The occasion for Hepburn to sing it is at the episode of Sabrina's return from Paris, when she is far more assertive than before setting out, and her life does turn rosier.
David, after initially not recognizing her, is quickly drawn to her. David's workaholic older brother Linus (Bogart) sees this and fears that David's imminent wedding with a very rich woman may be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a great corporate deal with the bride's family. So Linus tries to redirect Sabrina's affections, and in the process falls in love with her.
At the end Sabrina sets off for Paris on a boat, after Linus has told her to leave and never come back. In a board meeting, realizing his mistake, he manages to get on the boat, and the couple sails away together to Paris.

Our judges, who will again be coming from the Secchia Center for Culinary Education at Grand Rapids Community College, are getting excited about trying YOUR entry.

Our “winelover’s potluck” begins at 2:00 PM. Non-participants may bring an appetizer to share or a chili. In fact, in an effort to provide enough chili for all visitors, anyone who brings a chili (whether it is to be judged or not) will receive free admission for up to two people per 4-quart pot of chili. The entry fee for all others will be $2.00 pp.
Longtime musical friends of Fenn Valley, The Trace, will be entertaining all of us during the afternoon. They play classic "popular" music and you may have heard their music at previous winery events, such as Wine Fest or our Summer Evening Cook-Outs.
In addition to music, chili, and a potluck, we will be pouring wine by the glass. We will be featuring some of the new wines from the past vintage and encourage all of you to enjoy a glass of wine with your chili.
The schedule of activities for the day follows:
1:00-2:00- Registration of chilies
3:00- Winner announced
2:00-4:30- Wine Lover’s Potluck

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night- The Jolson Story
Date: Tuesday, December 27, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for December ‘The Jolson Story,’ a 1946 biopic about the great entertainer who starred in ‘The Jazz Singer,’ the first sound movie in 1928. Directed by Alfred E. Green, the film stars Larry Parks and Evelyn Keyes, with William Demarest, Bill Goodwin, Ludwig Donath, and Tamara Shayne.
This very entertaining biography of all-time great Jolson, has Parks giving his all in story of brash vaudeville performer's rise in the show biz world. Songs include "April Showers,'' "Avalon,'' "You Made Me Love You,'' "My Mammy'' plus many others, all dubbed by Jolson, who appears in a long shot on the runway during the "Swanee'' sequence. Morris Stoloff earned an Oscar for his scoring.
The plot follows Jolson from his youth in Washington, DC where he gets notice as a singer and eventually becomes a Vaudeville star. After his huge success in ‘The Jazz Singer,’ much of the story revolves around the struggle between Jolson and his wife, Julie, who wants him to quit show business because he is ruining his health.
This film was the highlight of Parks’s career. In the 1950s, his career foundered after he admitted to House Unamerican Activities Committee that he had been a Communist.
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night- The Magnificent Seven
Date: Tuesday, December 20, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for December 20 is ‘The Magnficent Seven,’ an incredibly popular western remake of the iconic Japanese production of ‘The Seven Samuri.’ Directed by John Sturges, ‘Seven’ starred several actors who would be forever famous just by their association with this film: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Horst Buchholz, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, and Brad Dexter. And Eli Wallach launched his career as a Mexican bandit, a role he would play several times again, most memorably in several spaghetti westerns starring Clint Eastwood.
The story is elegantly simple: seven sometimes reluctant paid gunslingers hire on to rout the bandits who are devastating a small Mexican town. They must prepare the town to repulse an army of 40 bandits who will arrive wanting food.
The Seven stay at the village for weeks, teaching the villagers how to fight, while preparing the town for the bandits' arrival. Eventually, the timid farmers learn that they do indeed have the ability to fight back, while the grizzled gunfighters find some humanity. There's plenty of action, gun fights, McQueen and Coburn's easy confidence, a boatload of great lines ('Do you have an older, grateful sister at home?'), Vaughn dressed like a dandy fop at a costume party. What makes it so compelling is that Sturges and writer William Roberts humanize the gunmen. Tough guys do have regrets and fears; they just do a hell of a better job hiding them than the rest of us.
A great score by Elmer Bernstein embellishes every scene.
Some critics carped because Sturges seemed to take too much time telling the background of each hero, but by the film’s end we find that we actually care about what happens to them.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night-Carousel
Date: Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for December 13 is ‘Carousel,’ a charming 1956 production of the brilliant Rogers and Hammerstein Broadway hit about carnival barker Billy Bigelo (Gordon MacRae) who gets to return from the dead and right some of the wrongs he has done his wife Julie (Shirley Jones).
‘Carousel,’ which ran for 890 performances on Broadway, makes an excellent big-screen spectacular as envisioned by director Henry King. There are two production numbers in the picture that are close to classic. The choreography by Rod Alexander is brilliant throughout.
In addition to the beautiful songs, such as the love duet "If I Loved You,” the film maintains the drama of the original. Billy and Julie haven't got a clue about marriage. Billy can’t settle down, can't keep a job, and feels smothered. Angry, he sometimes hits Julie, who can’t help loving her man, and keeps on excusing his behavior.
MacRae's performance in the “Soliloquy” may be the best part of the film as Billy sees Julie’s pregnancy as a sign that he must turn his life around. Believing he needs to support his wife and child, but not knowing how, he’s easy prey for ex-con Jigger (Cameron Mitchell). His involvement in attempted robbery leads to his death. It also gives Julie and the townspeople a chance to sing the stirring ballad "You'll Never Walk Alone."
Audiences will especially enjoy the hopeful finale, as Julie and Billy’s daughter, Louise (danced by Susan Luckey, with Jacques D'Amboise), envisions her future in the original stage ballet by Agnes DeMille.

The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for December 13 is ‘Carousel,’ a charming 1956 production of the brilliant Rogers and Hammerstein Broadway hit about carnival barker Billy Bigelo (Gordon MacRae) who gets to return from the dead and right some of the wrongs he has done his wife Julie (Shirley Jones).
‘Carousel,’ which ran for 890 performances on Broadway, makes an excellent big-screen spectacular as envisioned by director Henry King. There are two production numbers in the picture that are close to classic. The choreography by Rod Alexander is brilliant throughout.
In addition to the beautiful songs, such as the love duet "If I Loved You,” the film maintains the drama of the original. Billy and Julie haven't got a clue about marriage. Billy can’t settle down, can't keep a job, and feels smothered. Angry, he sometimes hits Julie, who can’t help loving her man, and keeps on excusing his behavior.
MacRae's performance in the “Soliloquy” may be the best part of the film as Billy sees Julie’s pregnancy as a sign that he must turn his life around. Believing he needs to support his wife and child, but not knowing how, he’s easy prey for ex-con Jigger (Cameron Mitchell). His involvement in attempted robbery leads to his death. It also gives Julie and the townspeople a chance to sing the stirring ballad "You'll Never Walk Alone."
Audiences will especially enjoy the hopeful finale, as Julie and Billy’s daughter, Louise (danced by Susan Luckey, with Jacques D'Amboise), envisions her future in the original stage ballet by Agnes DeMille.
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5. Free popcorn from CNJ Popcorn Co. and $1 concessions. Call (269) 857-5300 for more information or email lakeshorearts@comcast.net

We all get dressed for Bill,” says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.
The “Bill” in question is 80 years+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.”
Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.
Vogue.com says, "This touching, heart-swelling film reminds us that fashion doesn’t have to be so serious. It can be fun. It can be frivolous. And, as Mr. Cunningham shows us night after night, it can be a wild adventure.” The Boston Globe heralds, "Fascinating! A smart, playful movie! As much a portrait of a kind of artist as it is a document of a city’s evolving sense of style.”

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Presents Movie Night
Film: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Date: Tuesday, December 6, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for December 6 is 1954’s ’20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,’ reckoned by many as the best live action film made by Walt Disney during his lifetime.
Directed by Richard Fleischer and starring an outstanding cast led by Kirk Douglas, James Mason, and Peter Lorre, the lavish production fulfills Disney’s longstanding (since 1940) ambition to make a film of the Jules Verne novel. He originally wanted to make a full-length cartoon, but wisely decided to go for a convincing live production.
Verne’s plot takes takes the audience throughout the globe and under the sea as Mason as Captain Nemo fights man’s lust for power and riches that leads inevitably to war. Disney’s studio captured the naval and scientific advances of the late Nineteenth Century very credibly, mixing in Verne’s vision for what we know as atomic power.
Notices for the film were almost universally favorable. Variety called it "very special," and praised the actors, but said “it is the production itself that is the star. Technical skill was lavished in fashioning the fabulous Nautilus with its exquisitely appointed interior. The underwater lensing is remarkable on a number of counts, among them being the special designing of aqualungs and other equipment to match Verne's own illustrations." The Los Angeles Times noted that “nearly everyone should find the voyage exhilarating."
And Jack Moffitt in the Hollywood Reporter said "the production abounds in belly laughs and spine tingling thrills, set forth with an all-important air of plausibility."
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night: Suspicion
Date: Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for November 29 is ‘Suspicion,’ Alfred Hitchcock’s 1941 film that features Cary Grant as an irresistible cad, and the young Joan Fontaine, who finally learns she must resist him or face a grisly death. Hitchcock’s script, written mostly by his wife, Alma Reville, turns the audience every way but loose, as we succumb to subtle circumstantial evidence that Johnny (Grant) is a cold-hearted killer and that Lina (Ms. Fontaine) is in extreme danger.
In a contemporary review in the New York Times, Bosley Crowther lays it all out: “Mr. Hitchcock is compelled to construct his attack around a straight psychological progression; a shy deeply sensitive English girl marries a charming rakehell in maiden innocence, and then, through accumulated evidence, begins to suspect him of dark and foul deeds, of murdering two dear people, and finally of having designs upon herself.”
The great English character actors Nigel Bruce, Sir Cedrick Hardwick, Dame May Whitty, and Leo G. Carrol turn in fine atmospheric performances. Be sure to look for Hitchcock himself in his usual cameo performance. Hint: check the mail box.
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5. Free popcorn from CNJ Popcorn Co. and $1 concessions. Call (269) 857-5300 for more information or email lakeshorearts@comcast.net

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night: The Glenn Miller Story
Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for November 22 is ‘The Glenn Miller Story,’ a 1954 biopic about the sensationally popular band leader that paired James Stewart and June Allyson for the second time, continuing their string of box office hits that began with ‘The Stratton Story’ in 1949 and ended with 1955’s ‘Strategic Air Command.’
Director Anthony Mann carefully balances the (more or less) true aspects of Miller’s romance with his wife, Helen, and the musician’s struggles from obscurity in the 1920s to the top of the dance band world just as World War II was breaking out. The score, much of it developed by Henry Mancini, who actually played in the Arm Air Force’s Glenn Miller Band in the late 1940s, features most of Miller’s greatest hits, and several stars of the era play themselves: Frances Langford, Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa and others.
Everyone will recognize such hits as ‘Little Brown Jug,’ ‘String of Pearls,’ ‘Moonlight Serenade,’ and ten or twelve others with the authentic Miller sound helping to propel the story.
Miller’s death in a plane crash in 1944 halted the output of a creative popular musician, but the band has continued in various guises ever since, fronted by such stars as Ray Eberle and Ray McKinley.
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5.

At Fenn Valley, we offer our fun and informative tours year ‘round. The longer, more in-depth tour is referred to as our “extended” tour. These tours are 1:45 in length and involve wine tasting to illustrate the various points being made. During the cooler winter and spring months our tours take you into the wine cellar and focus on winemaking and how various cellar practices influence wine styles and flavors.
During the months of November through June we take you through our cellar where we give an in-depth look at how we convert our grapes into wine and includes wine tasting in the cellar. Please note that tours do not run on weekends when special events are scheduled in the cellar.
Nov 12 - June: “Extended” tour Sat 3:00 PM

July & August: “Extended” tour Fri 4:00 (A), Sat 1:00 (A), & 3:00 (A)

FALL TOURS – “Extended” tours and “Standard” tours

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night-Alias Jesse James
Date: Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for November 15 is ‘Alias Jesse James,’ a 1959 comedy western starring Bob Hope, the lovely redhead Rhonda Fleming, and Wendell Corey, perhaps the most serious man then alive.
As is usual with Hope films, the jokes come thick, fast, and topical. The climactic gun battle that sees Hope survive unscathed is famous for featuring almost all of 1959’s television western stars riding to his rescue. And of course, Bing Crosby makes his usual cameo appearance.
Hope is a desperate insurance agent who sells a $100,000 life insurance policy to the bank robber Jesse James (Corey). Hope’s irate boss sends him out West to protect the insurance company's investment by keeping James alive. No fool he, James plans to have Hope dress up like the outlaw and kill him so that his girlfriend (Fleming) can collect on the policy by posing as James’s widow.
The madcap action spins nonstop as Hope manages to survive several absurd attempts on his life while falling in love with Fleming. The film sends up every movie gun battle and of course Hope escapes alive and with Fleming.
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5. Free popcorn from CNJ Popcorn Co. and $1 concessions. Call (269) 857-5300 for more information or email lakeshorearts@comcast.net

South Haven Presents WOW Weekend
Date: Friday, November 11-13, 2011
(All day or non-timed event)
Category: South Haven Events
Get More Details:
Get ready for WOW Weekend! Tickets available at www.wowsouthhaven.com
WOW weekend now has 66 partners. The response from all of you has been overwhelming. Our web site continues to grow and with any luck at all, this week we’ll have the names and bios of our performers for the weekend. As you probably know, we are planning to have comedians on Friday night and Dueling Pianos on Saturday night.
Lately a couple of great additions have been added to the schedule including a Sunday morning event with Theresa Ruppert, a series of presentations by the Wellness Center, cooking demonstrations by Joel Gesiakowski at the Channel Wine Bar, and more.
More than a few of our partners have really pulled out all the stops for the weekend. First, Monroe Manor’s promotion is “Martinis and Manicures”. Each guest arriving on Friday night gets a manicure with a chance to make your own flavored martini with complementary glass. South Bend Chocolate Café will be holding a “Self Indulgent Saturday” with chocolate tastings, local wines, and music to be held prior to the Dueling Pianos held at the Foundry Hall.
The reason why the WOW Committee is contacting you now is that we need to get everybody to get their own special event onto the WOW schedule. Most of our participating stores and restaurants have yet to contact us with this information. Be creative such as Nature’s County Cupboard with their “Notorious Chic Chick Jewelry and Purse Party” or Su Casa’s Margaritas. Whatever your specialty is for the weekend will help make the entire event successful. But we need to get this information on our website immediately.
We’re convinced that WOW can work and work well for the entire business community for a number of years. All we have to do is work together to make this event a success. So you’ve made your financial commitment, now let’s make this event a success!
If you’d like help in coming up with a creative name for your addition to WOW, give us a holler and we’ll help you out. Just email us back with your questions, concerns, ideas and whatever you have.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents Real to Reel: RESTREPO
Date: Thursday, November 10, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Saugatuck Center For The Arts
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
$5 – members; $7 non-members
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, RESTREPO chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, "Restrepo," named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military.
Award-winning journalists Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington created this entirely experiential film: the cameras never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 90-minute deployment.
This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you.
The New York Magazine calls Restrepo, "A riveting journey into combat." Says the Los Angeles Times, "Coming after Hurt Locker ...this movie gives you the same edge-of-your-seat suspense and awe."

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night-North To Alaska
Date: Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for November 8 is ‘North to Alaska,’ a comedy western featuring Duke Wayne himself and the British swashbuckler Stewart Granger, along with teen hearthrob Fabian, French star Capucine, and TV comedian Ernie Kovacs as a claim-jumping gambler.
Granger and Fabian play the brothers (!) Pratt, George and Billy, and Wayne is their partner in a gold mine. Wayne goes to Seattle to fetch George Pratt's fiancée and some mining equipment.
Turns out the fiancee has run off with someone else, so Wayne in a moment of alcoholic brilliance talks a girl with a French accent (Capucine) into going back to Alaska to marry Granger.
The Duke has some of his funniest screen moments in this film. There's a whole routine with Granger and Capucine trying to make Wayne jealous and with Fabian serving as a straight man to Wayne, it's a pretty funny bit of business. Wayne's facial expressions are alone worth seeing.
Wayne shrewdly marketed his films to a younger audience by casting teen idols. Fabian drew in the young ladies as did Ricky Nelson in ‘Rio Bravo’ and Frankie Avalon in ‘The Alamo.’
And Johnny Horton’s title song raced up the musical charts to bring even better marketing pizzaz for ‘North to Alaska’
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5.

Imagine you're strolling the markets of Old Jaffa or sipping coffee in a café above the Mediterranean ... this very special evening with the Yamma Ensemble will transport you around the world through music, song, and dance!
Presented at the SCA as part of Arts Midwest's "World Fest" tour, the Yamma Ensemble is a five member band formed in 2004 by musicians who represent some of the many different cultural and ethnic backgrounds that call Israel home. Like the United States, Israel is the product of an immigrant society and its music derives from the Jewish communities that were scattered all over the world as well from the first European immigrants.
In the Yamma Ensemble, these influences combine to create a fascinating mix of east and west. The variety of languages, cultures, and musical styles the group performs in concert makes this an utterly unique, entertaining, and unforgettable world music experience.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night
Date: Tuesday, November 1, 2011
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film attraction for November 1 is ‘East of Eden,’ director Elia Kazan’s 1955 adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel and starring James Dean, Raymond Massey, Julie Harris, and Jo Van Fleet, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Kate, Dean’s disgraced mother. This was the second-to-last picture completed by the 24-year-old Dean, who was killed in an auto accident in September of 1955 soon after filming on ‘Giant’ ended.
Steinbeck based his story on the biblical brothers Cain and Abel. It is 1917, during World War I, in the central California farming community of Salinas. Cal "Cain" Trask ( Dean) and Aron "Abel" Trask (Richard Davalos) are the young adult sons of a modestly successful farmer and wartime draft board chairman named Adam Trask (Massey). The loner Cal is moody and embittered by his belief that his father favors Aron, who is successful and eager to please.
Although both Cal and Aron had long been led to believe that their mother had died "and gone to heaven," the opening scene reveals that Cal knows his mother (Van Fleet) is still alive, owning and running a successful brothel in nearby town of Monterey.
The film plays on the tension among Cal and Aron and their father, and the sudden attraction between Cal and Abra (Harris), Aron’s girlfriend. In hopes that he can earn his father’s respect, Cal borrows $5,000 from his mother, hoping to succeed in business where his father failed.

Cal "Cain" Trask ( Dean) and Aron "Abel" Trask (Richard Davalos) are the young adult sons of a modestly successful farmer and wartime draft board chairman named Adam Trask (Massey). The loner Cal is moody and embittered by his belief that his father favors Aron, who is successful and eager to please.
Although both Cal and Aron had long been led to believe that their mother had died "and gone to heaven," the opening scene reveals that Cal knows his mother (Van Fleet) is still alive, owning and running a successful brothel in nearby town of Monterey.
The film plays on the tension among Cal and Aron and their father, and the sudden attraction between Cal and Abra (Harris), Aron’s girlfriend. In hopes that he can earn his father’s respect, Cal borrows $5,000 from his mother, hoping to succeed in business where his father failed.
Join host John Hardy at 7 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5.
