Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night- "The Dirty Dozen"
Date: Tuesday, April 24, 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 April 24 with “The Dirty Dozen," the classic 1967 war movie starring Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine and a great ensemble cast playing a host of reprehensibles especially trained to assassinate Nazi officers.
Directed by Robert Aldrich and written by Nunnally Johnson, the film won an Oscar for best effects and John Cassavettes was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. “Dirty” was also nominated for a host of other awards.
The action ensemble featured Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, Cassavetes, Richard Jaekel, George Kennedy, Trini Lopez, Robert Ryan, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, and Clint Walker. Marvin plays a major with a bad attitude but ways of getting things done. His mission is to take a bunch of Army prison fodder and lead a stealth attack on a posh vacation chateau for German officers in occupied France, in hopes of disrupting German command before D-Day.
The convicts include Wladislaw (Bronson), a German-speaking former officer who attacked a superior rather than follow a stupid order, black activist Jefferson (Brown), gangster Franco Cassavetes), psychopath Maggott (Savalas), and mentally slow Pinkley.
Much of the film covers the training of the group and the harsh discipline Major Reisman (Marvin) lays down to convert the misfits into a team. Once they land in France, all hell breaks loose and the ensuing action is brilliantly directed and acted.
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 Italian Job"
Date: Tuesday, April 17, 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 April 17 with "The Italian Job," the classic 1969 caper film starring Michael Caine, theater maven Noel Coward, television comedian Benny Hill, and heartthrob Rossano Brazzi, who dies spectacularly in the first few minutes.
Caine stars as Charlie, a clever bandit just released from prison who hears about a $4 million gold shipment arriving in Italy from China. Seems that the Chinese are paying Fiat to build them an auto plant. Charlie plans to create a gigantic traffic jam in Turin that will distract authorities and permit the heist and escape. His plan requires financing, so breaks into prison to see Mr. Bridger (Coward), a Mafia boss who runs his operation from a jail cell. At first reluctant, Bridger decides to back Charlie, who assembles a crew that includes computer expert Professor Peach (Hill) and several getaway drivers.
Why the need for cash? Why all the drivers? Because the plan includes several Mini Coopers, an Aston Martin, and a couple of Jaguars whose pilots will take advantage of the traffic jam caused by Professor Hill and use the cars to navigate in unconventional ways through Turn to snatch the gold.
The action sequences and witty script by Troy Kennedy-Martin make this an enjoyable caper film with Caine at his best and clever performances by Hill, Coward, and Raf Vallone as an angry Mafioso.
Directed by Peter Collinson, the film was nominated for a Golden Globe for best English-Foreign Language picture in 1970.

Bertha Krueger Reid Exhibition Hall
March 23, 2012 through April 28, 2012
9 am - 4:30 pm, M-F and during evening events
Sponsored by:
Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs and National Endowment for the Arts
Curator: Miranda Krajniak
Old World, New World: Paintings by Rebecca Green features works by the emerging Grand Rapids artist.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, March 23 from 6:00-8:00 pm (free admission, refreshments provided.)
While the SCA has welcomed various artists to exhibit during its 10-year history, this show is unique. “This is the first time that the SCA has curated an exhibition of an up-and-coming regional artist,” shares Miranda Krajniak, SCA Education Manager and Exhibition Curator. “Rebecca is drawing attention throughout West Michigan and beyond as a gifted artist. Her approachable yet quirky sensibility was something we wanted to share with our community.”
The collection of selected work is comprised of pieces created during the past year, all of which deal with the joys and perils of everyday life. While the figures within the paintings find themselves placed in imaginative and colorful settings, they are also faced with the timeless glaze that encompasses each piece.
Green is a graduate of Kendall College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration and minor in graphic design. Currently, she lives in Grand Rapids and produces commercial illustration along with gallery work. She also dabbles in retail, three-dimensional work and stop motion animation.
Green’s work has been shown in a number of Michigan galleries as well as in New York and Los Angeles. Most recently, she exhibited at the Gerbens Art Loggia at the DeVos Center for Arts and Worship. Appearances in print include various West Michigan publications as well as national magazines including Bitch and BlueCanvas.

In this David and Goliath story for the 21st century, a group of proud Scottish homeowners take on a celebrity tycoon. At stake is one of Britain's very last stretches of wilderness.
American billionaire Donald Trump has bought up hundreds of acres on the northeast coast of Scotland, best known to movie-lovers as the setting for the 1983 classic film Local Hero. And like the American oil tycoon played by Burt Lancaster, he needs to buy out a few more locals to make the deal come true. In a land swimming with golf courses, Trump is going to build two more – alongside a 450-room hotel and 1,500 luxury homes. The trouble is, the land he has purchased occupies one of Europe’s most environmentally sensitive stretches of coast. And the handful of local residents don't want it destroyed.
Told entirely without narration, You've Been Trumped captures the cultural chasm between the glamorous, jet-setting and media savvy Donald Trump and a deeply rooted Scottish community. What begins as an often amusing clash of world views grows increasingly bitter and disturbing. For the tycoon, the golf course is just another deal, with a possible billion dollar payoff. For the residents, it represents the destruction of a globally unique landscape that has been the backdrop for their lives.
Funny, inspiring and heartbreaking in turns, You’ve Been Trumped is both an entertaining, can't-believe-it's-true tale and an environmental parable for our celebrity driven times. The film also offers a rare and revealing glimpse of the unfiltered Donald Trump, as he considers standing as a candidate for President of the United States.

Grammy-award winner Meredith Arwady and the multi-talented pianist Andrew Le will take the stage together for an unforgettable performance at the SCA!
An Evening with Meredith Arwady and & Andrew Le is offered in partnership with the Chamber Music Festival of Saugatuck (CMFS).
Reserved tickets are available for $25/each, or $35/each for premier tickets that include a post-show reception with the artists.
The performance will include cabaret and American Songbook favorites as well as opera selections sung by Arwady, who was just awarded the Best Opera Recording Grammy in 2012. Le, the first-place winner of the 2004 Hilton Head International Piano Competition and Co-CMFS Artistic Director, will accompany Arwardy, as well as perform solo pieces on the piano.
“This concert marks a celebration of anniversaries for our organizations,” shares Kristin Armstrong, SCA Executive Director. “2012 is the 25th anniversary of the Chamber Music Festival and the 10th anniversary for the Saugatuck Center for the Arts. We thought co-hosting a concert with truly outstanding performers would be the perfect way to celebrate with – and thank the community – for helping us both reach these milestones.”
Grammy-award winning contralto Meredith Arwady is also a winner of the 2004 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. Her style is described by the New York Times as having a “deep, dark vocal richness and expressive nobility.” In the summer of 2012, she will perform Mahler’s 8th Symphony at the Aspen Music Festival. Born in Michigan, Arwady graduated from Hope College and received a Master of Music degree from the Curtis Institute of Music.
In addition to his post with the CMFS, Dr. Andrew Le (Drew) is currently Head of Keyboard Studies and Associate Professor of Piano at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. Described as "individualistic without a trace of contrivance or eccentricity" by critic Harris Goldsmith of the New York Concert Review, Drew is known for his exciting, engaging, and artistically sensitive performances. He holds a Doctor of Music Arts degree from the Juilliard School.

Mason, who had earlier played Captain Nemo, another Verne hero, stars as Sir Oliver Lindenbrook, a renowned scientist who discovers evidence that a scientist from a few centuries earlier had found a pathway from the volcanoes in Iceland to the center of the earth. He writes to Swedish Professor Peter Göteborg, an expert in volcanoes, with his findings before proceeding with an expedition to the center of the earth. But Göteborg decides to double-cross Lindenbrook, utilizing the findings to be first at the center. Lindenbrook and one of his students, Alec McKuen (Boone) who is engaged to Lindenbrook's niece (Baker), quickly embark for Iceland for their own journey to the center to beat Göteborg.
In Iceland, they find Göteborg has been murdered, seemingly by Count Saknussem, a descendant of the original Icelandic explorer. They recruit Hans Belker, a brawny Icelandic farmer with a pet duck (typical of an Icelander) to do much of the manual work. But they must also reluctantly include Carla Göteborg (Dahl), Professor Göteborg's wife, who will not let them use her husband's prized equipment otherwise. The four plus duck proceed on their precarious journey with Carla and Lindenbrook often at odds. They do not know that behind them Count Saknussem will stop at nothing to beat Lindenbrook to the center. Directed by Henry Levin, the film was nominated for several technical Oscars.
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.

Get More Details:
The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company presents Shakespeare’s plays in a lively, audience interactive atmosphere. Each actor plays multiple roles in the production, and the performances feature live music. A recent audience member responded to one of Pigeon Creek’s performances with the following comment: “I have seen a lot of Shakespeare but have never been swept up and carried off with it like that because it was alive...If you prefer to savor Shakespeare on the strength of pure acting talent, a deep understanding of the literature, an incredible finesse with the language (their cadence, emphasis, enunciation of Shakespearian English made it sound "natural") and impeccable timing and synergy between the actors, then go to the very
next performance by this company.”
Romeo and Juliet will be directed by Alisha Huber. Huber is a guest artist who comes to the company from Virginia, where she has worked on productions at Mary Baldwin College, James Madison University, and the American Shakespeare Center.
Romeo and Juliet is perhaps Shakespeare’s most famous play, a tragedy of star-crossed lovers who marry in secret in spite of their feuding families. Pigeon Creek’s production features actors Chaz Albright, Michael Empson, Victoria Everitt, Killian Goodson, Kat Hermes, Anessa Johnson, Sean Kelley, Scott Lange, Katherine Mayberry, Rachael Pineiro, and Scott Wright.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night-"Phenomenon”
Date: Tuesday, April 3, 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 April 3 with "Phenomenon,” a 1996 science fiction romance starring John Travolta, Forrest Whittaker, Robert Duvall, and Kyra Sedgwick.
Travolta stars as George, a mechanic in a rural California town. On his birthday, George celebrates at a bar with friends Nate (Forest Whitaker) and Doc (Robert Duvall), the local physician. When he steps outside, George sees a bright light in the sky and falls briefly unconscious. He awakens with incredible intellectual and physical powers. Good thing he’s a Nice Guy. In quick order he learns he can read books by the wheelbarrow, becomes an inventor, a psychic, has telekinetic powers, predicts an earthquake, and memorizes Portuguese in minutes.
Using his powers For Good, George becomes a hero, but he can't totally win over the spooked townsfolk, who view him as a freak, or the standoffish Lace (Sedgwick), a single mom burned by love once too often. As George's kindness breaks down Lace's reserve and a romance begins, his fame spreads, bringing him to the attention of the FBI and curious university scientists. They, of course, want to use his powers for Other Purposes.
Jon Turtletaub and Brent Spiner of Star Trek fame co-directed from a script by Gerald DiPego. Spiner also appears as a psychologist. The film was nominated for several awards, winning BMI laurels for Most Performed Song from A Film (“Change the World”).
