Also at the Cinema Art Theater, two new films will open Friday, March 13. “Sirāt,” which earned two Academy Award nominations, follows a man and his son as they track groups of ravers around Morocco in hopes of finding their daughter and sister. “A Poet” tells the story of Oscar, a middle-aged, failed writer who finds an opportunity to mentor a young student and earn a chance at redemption.
Lazy Mary Productions will present “Divas, Divas, Divas” at 3 and 6 p.m., Saturday, March 14, paying tribute to some of the great female singers through the years.The cast includes Lazy Mary favorites Christine Asero, Alexandra Frederick and Donna Tucker-Jones among those who will cover all genres from rock ’n’ roll to R&B as well as country and jazz.
National Theatre Live will present “Life of Pi” Wednesday and Friday, March 18 and 20.
Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel. After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old boy named Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Royal Bengal tiger. Filmed live in London’s West End and featuring state-of-the-art visuals, the epic journey of endurance and hope is brought to life in a breathtaking new way for cinema screens.
Tickets for all events and films are available at rehobothfilm.com or at the Cinema Art Theater box office.
