REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA
4 NIGHTS ONLY - JAN 19 - 22
In the not-so-distant future, an epidemic of organ failures devastates
the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GENECO, a biotech
company that offers organ transplants…for a price. Those who miss their
payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous ORGAN
REPO MEN.
In a future where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and
murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for
information about her family’s mysterious past and the cure to her own
rare disease. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo’s Genetic
Opera she won’t turn back until she finds what she’s looking for.
REPO! is a genre-bending 21st century industrial-Wagnerian opera
featuring what is thought to be the most songs ever composed in a single
film. REPO! Is an opera in the truest sense – its story is sung from
beginning to end – but as composers Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich
like to say: this is not your parents’ opera.

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD
Nominated for Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Actor Drama for Leonardo
DiCaprio, Kate Winslet for Best Actress for Drama and Sam Mendes for
Best Director!
(Dir. Sam Mendes, USA/UK, 2008, R, 119 min)
Adapted from the revealing novel by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road
is an incisive portrait of an American marriage seen through the eyes of
Frank (three-time Academy Award® nominee Leonardo DiCaprio) and April
(five-time Academy Award® nominee Kate Winslet) Wheeler. Yates's story
of 1950's America poses a question that has been reverberating through
modern relationships ever since: can two people break away from the
ordinary without breaking apart?
Frank and April have always seen themselves as special, different, ready
and willing to live their lives based on higher ideals. So, as soon as
they move into their new house on Revolutionary Road, they proudly
declare their independence from the suburban inertia that surrounds them
and determine never to be trapped by the social confines of their era.
Yet for all their charm, beauty and irreverence, the Wheelers find
themselves becoming exactly what they didn't expect: a good man with a
meaningless job whose nerve has gone missing; a less-than-happy
homemaker starving for fulfillment and passion; an American family with
lost dreams, like any other.
Driven to change their fates, April hatches an audacious plan to start
all over again, to leave the comforts of Connecticut behind for the
great unknown of Paris. But when the plan is put in motion, each spouse
is pushed to extremes - one to escape whatever the cost, the other to
save all that they have, no matter the compromises.
Directed by Sam Mendes (Academy Award® winner American Beauty),
from a screenplay by Justin Haythe, Revolutionary Road stars
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet and features an accomplished
supporting cast including Academy Award® winner Kathy Bates, Kathryn
Hahn (Boeing-Boeing) Michael Shannon (Before the Devil Knows
You're Dead, Bug) and David Harbour (Awake). The
film's producers are John Hart, Scott Rudin, Sam Mendes and Bobby Cohen;
and the executive producers are Marion Rosenberg, David M. Thompson and
Henry Fernaine.
