Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night-"Evil Under the Sun"

Date: Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 pm

Location: Red Barn Theatre

Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events

Get More Details:

The Red Barn Theater’s classic film series continues July 24 with “Evil Under the Sun ," a 1981 mystery featuring Peter Ustinov as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, with James Mason, Diana Rigg and Roddy McDowall in major character roles. The book is based on Christie's 1941 novel.
An insurance company hires Poirot to check the authenticity of a gigantic engagement ring that had been returned to a millionaire by his unscrupulous former fiancee. Confirming the suspicion that the diamond is a fake, Poirot agrees to travel to an island resort where the ex-fiancee is vacationing and to confront her there.
Maggie Smith is featured as the owner of the island resort hotel, given to her by a former king of "Tyrania" for services rendered. Mason is a New York theatrical producer, and McDowall steals his scenes by impersonating Noel Coward as a theater critic. The whole joint is crawling with former chorus girls (the redoubtable Ms. Rigg foremost among them) and all manner of theater folk drawn to the island as former colleagues of Ms. Smith.
The complicated story is sure to please Agatha Christie fans as well as those of Peter Ustinov who wears very well as the amazing Belgian detective.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with old-time TV shows available until 7 p.m. Join host John Hardy
in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck,

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night-"And Then There Were None"

Date: Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 pm

Location: Red Barn Theatre

Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events

Get More Details:

The Red Barn Theater’s classic film series continues July 17 with “And Then There Were None ," a 1945 comedy thriller featuring veteran character actors Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, C. Aubrey Smith, and Dame Judith Anderson.
The script is based on a play by Agatha Christie (which was based loosely on her book, which was considerably grimmer). The film could be seen as a precursor to modern slasher films with very little visible gore.
Ten strangers, relatively evil folks, are summoned to an island off the coast of Devon by a Mr. Owen, whom none of them knows. Soon, the ten begin to see their fellows voted off the island by way of murder. Each time someone dies, the nonsense poem "Ten Little Indians" is recited, and each death corresponds to one in the poem, and in the proper order. This, of course, is the title of Christie's original book.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with old-time TV shows available until 7 p.m. Join host John Hardy in
front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about

Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events

Get More Details:

The Red Barn Theater’s film series continues June 26 with “Band of Angels,” the 1957 drama set just before the Civil War and starring Clark Gable,Yvonne DeCarlo, and Sidney Poitier. Based on a novel by Robert Penn Warren, the plot revolves around a woman’s discovery that she is descended from slaves, not plantation aristocrats.

Amantha Starr (De Carlo) is the privileged daughter of a Kentucky plantation owner. However, after he dies, a shocking secret is revealed: unbeknownst to Amantha, her mother had been one of her father's black slaves. Legally now property, she is taken by a slave trader to New Orleans to be sold.

Amantha is put up for auction. When she is callously inspected by a coarse potential buyer, she is rescued from further humiliation by Hamish Bond (Gable), who outbids the cad, paying an exorbitant price for her. Expecting the worst, Amantha is surprised to be treated as a lady, not a slave, by her new owner. At his city mansion, she meets his key slaves, his housekeeper (and former lover) Michele (Carolle Drake) and his conflicted right-hand-man Rau-Ru (Poitier). Rau-Ru is grateful for the kindness, education and trust Hamish has bestowed on him, but hates him anyway. Over time, Amantha loves Bond, but finds out that he had been a slave trader.

Film begins at 7 p.m. when you can join host John Hardy 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.

South Haven Foundry Hall Presents "Petal Shop"

Date: Friday, June 22, 2012
Start Time: 7:30 pm

Location: Foundry Hall

Category: South Haven Events

Get More Details:

Folk music with a flavor of the '30s-40s is injected with fresh, modern storytelling. Petal Shop, from Detroit, performs with an energy that is at once the subtle tension of an intimate folk concert and the wild, pentecostal drive of punk-driven bluegrass. Fiddle, banjo and guitar cling to each other as three vocals intersect and blend into a single, stratified voice. Dancing is common, both on and off stage as Petal Shop's members beg for “just one 'amen!'”

Tickets: $7 door / $5 advance & members

Winner of the 2004 Tony Award for Best Musical, AVENUE Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is Avenue Q; still, the neighbors seem nice. There's Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod -- a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret; an internet addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate. And would you believe the building's superintendent is Gary Coleman?!? (Yes, that Gary Coleman.) Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Musical: Carney Dreams

Date: Thursday, June 21-24,2012
Start Time: 7:30 pm

Location: Red Barn Theatre

Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events

Get More Details:

Carney Dreams is a new musical with libretto written by Al Ver Schure, music composed by Bud Ferguson and lyrics by Al Ver Schure.

Zoot Moses fled the carney four years ago when money was stolen, an horrific fire occurred, and he was blamed. During the time he worked at the carnival, Claudia loved him and shared with him and everyone else that both legends and the alignment of the stars destined the two of them to be together. Her love remains an obsession. Amos is also fueled by the need to keep Claudia close to him, but even more by his hatred of the absent Zoot.

In the present, Zoot has found his way into employment at the dinerowned by Al. Here, Debbie, a waitress, has also become enamored of Zoot. After some time, Zoot, a reluctant conversationalist at best, unburdens himself of his past to Debbie, who determines to obtain closure on the old relationship with Claudia so she can start on a new one with Zoot.

Curtain for all shows is 7:30, except for the matinee on 6/24, which will begin at 2pm.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night "Picnic"

Date: Tuesday, June 19, 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 June 19 with “Picnic,” the 1955 romance based on a play by William Inge and featuring theme music that became a hit on its own. William Holden stars as Hal Carter, the drifter who disrupts the smug life in a small community, and Kim Novak is Madge Owens, the town beauty.

The plot covers a 24-hour period: September 5, 1955. Hal is a former college football star, adrift and unemployed after army service and a failed Hollywood acting career. On Labor Day he arrives by freight train in a Kansas town to visit a fraternity buddy, Alan Benson (Cliff Robertson), the son of a wealthy grain elevator owner. Hal meets Madge, who is dating his friend.

Madge’s mother (Betty Field) hopes that she will marry Alan, whose father thinks Madge is beneath his son. Hal gets along wonderfully with almost everyone, and Alan is very happy to see "same old Hal," whom he takes to the family's sprawling grain elevator operations. He promises Hal a steady job as a "wheat scooper" (though Hal is disappointed he is not made an executive) and invites Hal to the town's Labor Day picnic. Hal is wary about going to the picnic, but Alan nudges him into it, saying Hal's "date" for the picnic will be Madge's bookish younger sister Millie (Susan Strasberg), who is quickly drawn to Hal's cheerful outlook and charisma.

During the picnic, everyone is unmasked, and by the next morning the question is whether Hal and Madge will find each other.

Film begins at 7 pm. when you can join host John Hardy 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
