SUMMARY:Whiskey and Weavers: Scotch Whiskey Tasting and Tannahill Weavers Concert Film
DESCRIPTION:An afternoon of great music and fine spirits is in store at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center Sunday\, May 5 with Whiskey and Weavers. The screening of a live concert film featuring the Tannahill Weavers (recorded at the Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center in October 2023) will be preceded by a Scotch whiskey tasting to benefit the Balmoral Classic: U.S. Junior Solo Piping & Drumming Championships\, an annual event held in Pittsburgh each fall. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Scotland’s Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments\, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric\,” says the Boston Globe. “The quintet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival. They can summon rock ‘n’ roll intensity or haunting introspection.” \n\n\n\nThe event is presented in partnership with Pittsburgh’s Balmoral School of Piping & Drumming. The Scotch tasting begins at 2 p.m. and the film at 3 p.m. Tickets are available for the film alone\, or for both events.  \n\n\n\nBorn of a session in Paisley\, Scotland\, and named for the town’s historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill\, the Tannahill Weavers are internationally known for their unique take on Celtic music\, blending beautiful traditional melodies with powerful modern rhythms. \n\n\n\nTheir diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals\, topical songs\, original ballads and lullabies\, and humorous tales of life in Scotland. From reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs\, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Weavers concert at the Pittsburgh Masonic Center “was a highlight of our year\,” says Balmoral executive director George Balderose. “The May 5 screening is a great way to share that experience and spread awareness of traditional Scottish music to the community.”

SUMMARY:Premiere of Restored Pandora's Box with Live Accompaniment
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center\, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society\, will present Pandora’s Box\, starring legendary actress Louise Brooks and accompanied by live music\, on Sunday\, March 3\, at 3 p.m.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConsidered a masterwork of the silent film era\, the picture by G.W. Pabst will be shown in its 2K restoration for the first time in the Pittsburgh area. Lurid and highly controversial upon its release\, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery yet innocent showgirl Lulu. \n\n\n\nThe film was rediscovered by scholars in the 1950s and began to earn the reputation of an unsung classic. Film critic Roger Ebert reviewed the film in 1998 with great praise\, and included the film on his list of The Great Movies. Director Quentin Tarantino also listed it among his 10 greatest films of all time. \n\n\n\n“Louise Brooks dazzles as the dangerously appealing seductress\,” says the British Film Institute. Brooks’ “rightly acclaimed performance oozes careless vivacity and irresistible charm. But the direction is also brilliantly meticulous\, making memorable use of Günther Krampf’s fluid camera and expressive lighting.” \n\n\n\n“We are pleased to again partner with the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society to bring a treasured silent film to the Theater\,” says Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, CEO of The Lindsay. “Audience response to these films has been enthusiastic; particularly because of the texture added by the live musical accompaniment.” \n\n\n\nAccompanying the film will be Ben Opie\, who performs on reeds and electronics\, and teaches music technology at both Carnegie Mellon University and Pittsburgh’s CAPA High School; and Mark Micchelli\, a pianist\, composer\, technologist and educator pursuing a doctorate in jazz studies\, composition and theory at the University of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\n“We’re thrilled to co-present this brand new restoration of Louise Brooks’ best film at one of our favorite independent cinemas\, and accompanied by some of Pittsburgh’s best jazz musicians\,” says Chad Hunter\, director of the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society\, whose work has been praised by Martin Scorsese. “It doesn’t get any better.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Pandora’s Box is a piece of glowing cinema which has one searching for superlatives\,” says Stage and Cinema. Louise Brooks’ face “defies time and period\, and is as relevant today as it was in 1929 when she was lured to Germany by Pabst to play the doomed Lulu. No other actress of her period could have realized this character so subtly or with such insouciance.” \n\n\n\nThe 141-minute film has original intertitles in German with English subtitles. All tickets are $15\, and no passes can be used. For this and other special events hosted at the Theater\, absolutely no ticket refunds are possible. For regular screenings\, the Theater is pleased to issue ticket “swaps” or refunds when contacted at least 24 hours in advance of the ticketed showtime.

We are thrilled to see it again\, and to introduce it to those who have not yet seen it\, ” says Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club President Wendy Whittick\, who will introduce the film.

SUMMARY:Some Like It Hot co-presented by the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center\, in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club\, will present a one-time screening of the legendary\, Oscar-nominated 1959 film Some Like It Hot on Sunday\, Oct. 15\, at 1 p.m. \n\n\n\nThe picture follows two musicians\, played by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis\, who disguise themselves as women after witnessing a mob crime; Curtis’ character falls for the singer portrayed by Marilyn Monroe. Some Like It Hot\, directed by six-time Oscar winner Billy Wilder\, was made without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code (Hays Code) because of its LGBT themes. \n\n\n\nSince then\, the film’s reputation has grown\, and it is widely considered one of the greatest of all time. The Library of Congress selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the National Film Registry\, and the American Film Institute voted it as the top comedy film on their list of AFI’s 100 Years…100 Laughs poll in 2000. \n\n\n\n“Wilder’s 1959 comedy is one of the enduring treasures of the movies\, a film of inspiration and meticulous craft\,” said the late critic Roger Ebert\, giving the film four out of four stars. “What a work of art and nature is Marilyn Monroe. She has the gift of appearing to hit on her lines of dialogue by happy inspiration\, and there are passages in Some Like It Hot where she and Tony Curtis exchange one-liners like hot potatoes.” \n\n\n\n“No one but Billy Wilder could bring you such a madcap comedy\,” says Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club President Wendy Whittick\, who will introduce the film. The club strives to promote and preserve classic films from Hollywood’s Golden Age with screenings personally curated by their expert members. The club is a haven for classic movie fans to share their love of classics with like-minded members.   \n\n\n\nTickets are on sale now. For this and other special events hosted at the Theater\, absolutely no ticket refunds are possible. For regular screenings\, the Theater is pleased to issue ticket “swaps” or refunds when contacted at least 24 hours in advance of the ticketed showtime.

SUMMARY:Penguin Bookshop presents The First Ladies
DESCRIPTION:Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center\, in partnership with the Penguin Bookshop\, today announced an exclusive preview book signing and discussion event for the latest novel by Marie Benedict (the pen name of Sewickley native and Pittsburgher Heather Terrell) and Victoria Christopher Murray\, one of the country’s top contemporary authors. \n\n\n\nAt the Monday\, June 26\, 7-9 p.m. event at The Lindsay Theater\, 418 Walnut St.\, Sewickley\, Benedict and Murray will sign copies of The First Ladies and talk about this historical novel which tells the story of the extraordinary partnership between First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune. The book will not be released to the public until the day after the event. Big Spring Spirits\, a Bellefonte-based distillery with a store in Sewickley\, will offer cocktails for sale. \n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required for this ticketed event. Admission includes a copy of the book\, which will be available for pickup at the event. \n\n\n\n“We are thrilled to welcome these two exceptional authors to Sewickley and to welcome Benedict back to her hometown\,” said Susan Hans O’Connor\, Penguin Bookshop owner. “It is a wonderful symbiosis celebrating women: two talented writers tell the story of two amazing women who changed history. We’ve been eagerly awaiting the publication of The First Ladies and we are delighted to be able to offer this exclusive sneak preview to a local audience. We expect the evening to be enlightening\, educational—and fun.” \n\n\n\nThe First Ladies tells of “two different\, yet equally formidable\, passionate and committed women\, and the way in which their singular friendship helped form the foundation for the modern civil rights movement\,” according to publisher Penguin Random House. \n\n\n\nBethune\, the daughter of formerly enslaved parents\, marches as an activist and educator. As her reputation grows\, she becomes a celebrity recognized by titans of business and U.S. presidents. When she meets Eleanor Roosevelt\, the two are drawn together by their shared beliefs in women’s rights and the power of education. Roosevelt grows into a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness\, particularly on civil rights. \n\n\n\nPreviously\, Murray and Benedict authored together the New York Times best seller and Good Morning America Book Club pick The Personal Librarian\, and both are prolific authors in their own right. \n\n\n\nMurray has written more than 20 novels and has more than a million books in print. Over the course of her career to date\, Murray has received an NAACP Image Award\, the Phillis Wheatley Trailblazer Award for African American Fiction\, and nine African American Literary Awards\, as well as a Library Journal Best Book of the Year. She holds an MBA from the New York University Stern School of Business. \n\n\n\nBenedict\, a lawyer with more than 10 years of litigation experience\, is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of numerous historical fiction works\, including The Only Woman in the Room\, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, Carnegie’s Maid\, The Other Einstein and Lady Clementine. \n\n\n\nThe pair’s previous effort\, The Personal Librarian\, was named a Best Book of the Year by NPR and a Notable Book of the Year by the Washington Post. It unveiled the story of Belle da Costa Greene\, the Black woman forced to hide her identity as she worked in J.P. Morgan’s library alongside New York’s social elite. Good Morning America called it “historical fiction at its best.”

SUMMARY:"Their Story" Sewickley Valley African-American history documentary director reveal
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe selection of a director/filmmaker to lead the production of a documentary film focused on Sewickley Valley’s Black community will be announced at a free event on Sunday\, June 25\, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center (formerly The Tull Family Theater). \n\n\n\nEarly in 2022\, community members gathered to review digitized photos of Sewickley’s African American community from the early 1900s to present. The preservation and accessibility of these images—first collected by the Sewickley Community Center and the Daniel B. Matthews Society of St. Matthew AME Zion Church—attracted resounding community support. In February\, a volunteer group established the Their Story Committee to advance the production of a documentary film to make the history of Sewickley’s Black community more widely known. \n\n\n\nAfter months of interviews\, the committee selected and is ready to introduce the director/filmmaker leading the documentary project at a gathering featuring bites and live music from 5 to 7 p.m. on Sunday\, June 25\, at The Lindsay Theater\, 418 Walnut St.\, Sewickley. \n\n\n\nIn addition to announcing the director/filmmaker\, Their Story Committee leaders will discuss new developments for the ambitious project. This work builds on the book\, Their Story: The History of Black/African Americans in Sewickley & Edgeworth\, published in 2000 by the late Sewickley resident Bettie Cole. \n\n\n\nProject co-chairs Gwen Strickland\, daughter of Cole\, and Stratton Nash—working alongside Committee Members Gloria Cook\, Floyd Faulkner\, Susan Kaminski\, Tim Lee\, Shelley Murray\, Carla Nash\, Stratton Nash III\, Joyce Parker\, Bob Patterson and Dorinda Taylor—are reaching out to community members to gather photos\, oral histories and memories to be reviewed for inclusion in the documentary. \n\n\n\nEntertainment at Sunday’s event will be provided by the Mark Strickland Quartet\, featuring Thomas Wendt (drums)\, Tony DePaolis (bass)\, Max Leake (piano) and Mark Strickland (guitar). Gist Catering will provide appetizers; wine and soft drinks will also be provided. \n\n\n\nRSVPs are welcome at theirstory15143@gmail.com. On Sundays\, metered parking on the street and in the municipal lot adjacent to the Theater is free.
