Okay. I’m so excited about Sunday! La Voce is coming on Sunday afternoon! I just love them! They are a group of volunteers who bring beautiful music to our area. Dolores Dominick-Noll does a great job with her merry band and they have put together a particularly wondrous program of familiar tunes for us all to enjoy this Sunday afternoon. From Stephen Foster they’re doing Beautiful Dreamer, Gentle Annie, Hard Times Come Again No More and others. From The Student Prince they are singing Deep In My Heart, Golden Days, The Drinking Song and more. And from Broadway they’ll be Puttin’ On The Ritz as well as a little serious opera thrown on in. So do come and support some pretty wonderful music right here in downtown Tunkhannock. I just can’t wait!

One more thing from those cultural folks – don’t forget the live production of Little Red Riding Hood on October 10^th. It’s a great production and there’s nothing more fun for the kidlets than live theater so do bring ‘em on out to join in the fun with the little girl with the hood.

Okay. So. Now we get to the movies. The two biggest of the festival were 500 Days of Summer and Cheri, so since there wasn’t anything opening nationwide that I either wanted but couldn’t get (Whip It) or could get but didn’t want (Zombieland) I decided to keep the best of the fest! 500 Days of Summer is my personal fave from festival. It is a darling, charming, sweet natured film that makes you proud to run a movie house. It is the sweet and very gentle story of a dear young man who falls madly in love with a young woman and believes her to be his soul mate. Convinced that there is only one soul mate for each living soul, he is crushed when she moves on. But the lesson of this film is that true love need not necessarily be exclusive and that the heart, although tender, is resilient.

Cheri is a terrific period piece, a romance and social satire all rolled up into one. For you ladies who want to look at the lushness of another time while being soooo happy you don’t live back then, this is the movie for you. It’s worth your time, and now that we have it for a week you have ample time to see it.

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs is with us another week and it’s a little gem for the kidlets. Fun, light, silly – it’s perfect for kids and mums and dads alike.

Surrogates starring Bruce Willis is with us for another week, also. It’s not bad sci-fi and of course Willis is ever charming.

And that’s all the news from my desk. Festival went so well, opening night was so fabulous, and now we head on into the later autumn and skirt around the beginning edge of the holidays, moviewise. It will be such fun to have the holidays on our four screens – we can bring almost all the blockbusters to you! Can you imagine that?

See you at the Dietrich.

P.S. – Look at our fab new webpage to see the folks who sponsored the film festival. Tell them thanks the next time you see them. They make it all possible!!!!!

I can’t believe that October is just a day away! Where did September go? It seems like the film festival just kicked off and children and adults started their September art classes at the Dietrich. In reality, though, there is only one day of festival left and we are looking to October classes and events. Since tomorrow is the last day of festival, Hildy and Jeffrey scheduled four movies for the day. So if you haven’t seen O’Horten, Every Little Step, Away We Go, or The Hurt Locker, this is your chance. I really hope to see Every Little Step tomorrow, those who have seen it tell me that it really makes you appreciate all that goes into making a Broadway show.

While the festival focused on films mainly for adults, in October, children will have a great movie event to look forward to. The much-anticipated movie Where the Wild Things Are opens at the Dietrich on October 16. You do not want to miss this film. When we checked out the preview of this movie, we all agreed it was like watching the pages of Maurice Sendak’s Caldecott medal-winning children’s story come to life. Teachers, if you are looking for a fun field trip for your class, this is it! For more information about booking a special show at the Dietrich, call Sarah at 570-996-1503.

The Dietrich will also be hosting a live performance for children and families on Saturday, October 10 at 1:00 pm. Join us as Gamut Theatre Group of Harrisburg takes the Dietrich stage to perform the children’s tale “Little Red Riding Hood”. During this performance, the audience will be encouraged to help Little Red stay on the right path and watch out for the Big Bad Wolf. This classic will keep you and your kids laughing all the way to Grandma’s house. Tickets are only $5 each and can be reserved at the Dietrich’s ticket booth or by calling 570-996-1500.

In addition to movies and events, the theater will present some new classes for children in October. On Tuesdays from 4:00 - 5:00 pm, Everhart Museum Educator Anki will be back to teach “Explore Latin America’s Halloween”. In this class for children ages 5 to 12, students will experience the traditions, festivities, and fantastic crafts of Latin American Culture! They will write, draw, create, and explore in this class series based on the Everhart’s new exhibit Day of the Dead: Art & Culture in the Americas. Admission is free and there is still time to sign up. To register, please give us a call at 570-996-1500.

For younger children, ages 3 to 5, Amy Colley and Michaela Moore will take kids on an adventure in Super Hero Theatre & Visual Art classes. Students will learn about super heroes while creating stories, live theatre, arts, crafts and so much more! They will learn about movement, make masks and costumes, create group art projects, and play theatre games Preschool classes will be held on Thursdays starting on October 15 and the Mommy & Me session will begin on Friday, October 16. Call the Dietrich at 570-996-1500 for class information or to register.

Please remember to join us this weekend for some live events at the Dietrich! On Saturday, October 3^rd, come out for Airing of the Quilts.

At The Dietrich by Hildy Morgan Just came from lunch with those wonderful cultural folks where we got into the nitty-gritty of planning for the March production of The Grapes of Wrath. Directed by our very own Jennifer Jenkins – a lovely and enthusiastic young woman who is a perfect fit here at the Dietrich. This year, when the county reads The Grapes of Wrath, it will be followed not by a movie, but by this grand play, adapted faithfully (much more so than the movie) from Steinbeck’s novel. What fun it was to sit and plan this gorgeous production which will brighten up the bleak midwinter. And this year it will be an all volunteer production! We hope this will be the first of many plays Jennifer will direct. Okay. I’m so excited about Sunday! La Voce is coming on Sunday afternoon! I just love them! They are a group of volunteers who bring beautiful music to our area. Dolores Dominick-Noll does a great job with her merry band and they have put together a particularly wondrous program of familiar tunes for us all to enjoy this Sunday afternoon.
