By: Gabrielle Sierra Sep. 23, 2010
The Maltz Jupiter Theatre is in full swing with its first-ever free film series, two kids' shows and a one-man show about Zero Mostel.
The Florida Weekly-sponsored film series, themed to the not-for-profit Theatre's upcoming season productions, opens with Twelve Angry Men on Oct. 18, tied to the courtroom drama that is the Theatre's season opener. Other films in the series are The Sound of Music on Dec. 29, pegged to the musical that offers a few of our favorite things, and The Jazz Singer on Feb. 7, the landmark 1927 "talkie" film starring Al Jolson, subject of the Theatre's pre-tour musical, Jolson at the Winter Garden!"All three of our films are directly tied to the full-scale season performances that the Theatre is producing this season," said the Theatre's Artistic Director, Andrew Kato. "We wanted to provide a special treat for theatergoers who can see the movie version on the big screen for free, then see the live stage show just weeks later. We hope it will provide something new for residents, as well as remind them of the true magic of live theatre."This endearing tale, based on the Newbery Honor Book by Eleanor Estes, illustrates Wanda's story about bullying, taking responsibility and living with the consequences of our actions.
