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.

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.

Location: Fenn Valley Vineyards

Category: West Michigan Coastal Surrounding Areas

Get More Details:

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


SUMMER TOURS – “Extended” tours only


During the months of July and August, we do a little of both “extended” tours. White wines are tasted in the vineyard (weather permitting) and red wines are sampled from barrels in the cellar. Please note that tours do not run on weekends when Open House/Wine Fest or Blues in the Vineyard are scheduled.
July & August: “Extended” tour Fri 4:00 (A), Sat 1:00 (A), & 3:00 (A)

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


Both tours take you into the vineyard (weather permitting) on special wagons built to accommodate up to 22 people. There you will taste the wines in the vineyard where they were grown. Because the tour wagons are uncovered, cellar tours are substituted during periods of inclement weather.
Sunday: 1:00 and 3:00. Space may be available for walk-ins during this time.
August 27th - October 16th:


“Extended” tour Sat 2:15 (B) & 4:15 (B), Sun 2:15 (B)

Private Tours: Private tours can be arranged for groups of up to 22 persons. Vineyard tours will require reservation of the entire wagon, regardless of the actual number of persons on the tour. If there are less than 22 persons on the tour, the tour group will receive the extra glasses and coupons. (Vineyard tours: 22 X $8.00 = $176)

Celtic/Indie/Singer-Songwriter

Doug Peterson approaches his music with irreverence and a sense of soul felt sentimentality. His sound has been likened to Cat Stevens, Billy Corgan, and Weird Al playing for a Victorian tea party after the wine has arrived. Performing a set, he can move seamlessly from a folk ballad, to a melodic hard rock anthem, into a quirky geeky love song, all while engaging his audience with anecdotes and personal stories. An evening with Doug is more than a concert; it’s a mad fantastical journey.

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.

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 CafĂ© 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’

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.

24 artists from Saugatuck & Douglas joined more than 1,500 other artists in this year's ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids.

Housed in the lobby of The B.O.B., hundreds of thousands of visitors experienced the 10 foot by 15 foot painting based on a 1970 work by Bill Olendorf.

The project required hundreds of hours from the artists along with a slew of hours from the partners involved with promoting the project.

So what happened? Join Douglas Community Development Director Ryan Kilpatrick, and others involved with the collaborative project, to talk about outcomes for the artists, the partners involved with the project, and the communities.

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.
