The Lindsay is once again partnering with Parkinson Foundation Western Pennsylvania to show a very special documentary.

Boys of Summer: Short Stop is the third installment in a four-part series from filmmaker Robert Cochrane, Ph.D., chronicling precious time spent with his father, Dan Cochrane, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2001.

Short Stop will play at The Lindsay on Sunday, May 17, at 1 p.m. All tickets to this event are discounted to $8.75 each. Robert Cochrane will participate in a virtual Q&A immediately following the screening.

“I hope viewers will engage with us like we are members of their family—or neighbors, to put it in Mister Rogers terms,” says Cochrane. “The greatest compliments are that people laughed, cried, thought and are inspired to do more with their own family.”

Cochrane is the founder and CEO of Yes, And…eXercise!, a nonprofit dedicated to motivating and inspiring people impacted by Parkinson’s to gain confidence, connect with others, and discover joy through improvisation and storytelling.

After his father’s diagnosis, Robert and Dan set off on a two-month, 20,000-mile baseball road trip that he made into the 2004 documentary Boys of Summer: First Base. Boys of Summer: Second Base followed in 2014, with Short Stop coming in 2020. Part four, Boys of Summer: Third Base, will premiere later this month at the World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix, Arizona.

Short Stop picks up almost two decades after Dan’s initial diagnosis. He struggles at times with losing pieces of himself and accepting support as his disease advances. This time, Robert’s son, Giuseppe, joins him and Dan on an adventure as they get MVP treatment at Dodger Stadium, Petco Park and the Oakland Coliseum.

The film explores what happens between the big moments, capturing quiet struggles, inside jokes and the unspoken weight of time passing. Short Stop also features an appearance from late Pirates legend Dave Parker, who lived with Parkinson’s disease for 13 years before his death in June 2025.

Cochrane also already shown Short Stop more than 30 times this year in a variety of settings nationwide. It has received rapturous acclaim from those audiences, who gave Short Stop an average of 4.7/5 stars. Of those viewers, 99% said they would recommend Cochrane’s film to others.

This screening is being presented in partnership with Parkinson Foundation Western Pennsylvania, a local nonprofit that provides services, support and education for those living with Parkinson’s disease and their families. The Lindsay and PFWPA previously collaborated to show the 2023 documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, about the Back to the Future actor who was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991.

“We hope that those affected by Parkinson’s feel a sense of hope despite the many challenges the disease presents,” says Casey Peluso, PFWPA’s vice president of programs and outreach, about this Short Stop event. “The collaboration between Robert Cochrane and The Lindsay Theater is very special because it not only brings awareness of Parkinson’s, but it shows that there is a community of support.”

Robert Cochrane believes that “movie theaters are sacred space” and the ideal venue to experience his family’s story. “It’s an amazing and all-too-rare opportunity to share a communal experience in the dark with people we don’t know and remember how we’re much more alike than different.”

The Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club is bringing Golden Age romance, drama and screwball comedy to The Lindsay.

We are partnering with PCMC to show 1933’s Dinner at Eight on Sunday, May 31, at 1 p.m. Academy Award-winner George Cukor directed this opulent tale of romantic entanglements, business intrigue and personal crises during one particularly memorable dinner party.

Tickets to Dinner at Eight are on sale for $11. PCMC president Wendy Whittick will provide a special introduction prior to the screening.

Cukor’s career spanned five decades and also included 1940’s The Philadelphia Story, 1944’s Gaslight, 1954’s A Star is Born remake and 1964’s My Fair Lady—for which he won a Best Director Oscar.

In Dinner at Eight, affluent Millicent (Billie Burke) and Oliver Jordan (Lionel Barrymore) throw a dinner for a handful of wealthy and/or well-born acquaintances, each of whom has much to reveal. The film’s all-star cast also includes Marie Dressler, John Barrymore, Wallace Beery and Jean Harlow.

The Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club’s mission is to preserve and promote classic film from the Golden Age of Hollywood—defined as films released between 1910 and 1969—in this region. PCMC holds screenings throughout the Pittsburgh area, and often partners with The Lindsay on exclusive classic film events.

Emerging Filmmakers Showcase: 'Collections in Black'
2026-06-18 19:30 - 21:30
The Lindsay’s latest Emerging Filmmakers Showcase is an exciting documentary from a local filmmaker that highlights the rarely explored history of Black comic book creators and enthusiasts.

Collections in Black was directed by Phillip Thompson, a multi-hyphenate artist who many Pittsburghers may know as DJ Big Phill. His film delves into the significant contributions of Black collectors, artists, writers and creators from the Golden Age of comics through today.

Collections in Black will play at The Lindsay on Thursday, June 18, at 7:30 p.m. Thompson will display a few physical examples of Black excellence in this genre and lead an in-person Q&A following the screening. Tickets are free, and we recommend RSVPing via the the below sign-up form due to space limitations.

Thompson is a Penn Hills native and accomplished DJ, music producer, filmmaker and art curator. The 33 and a Third Media founder has been working in the documentary space for more than 25 years. The Archive, his first film that showcases Pittsburgh’s hip-hop landscape, premiered in 2000 at the Andy Warhol Museum.

An abridged version of Collections in Black featured in an art exhibition that also displayed an unprecedented amount of artwork, unique items and other artifacts representing Black comic book culture. The exhibit has appeared in multiple venues nationwide—including Downtown’s August Wilson African American Cultural Center.

The documentary includes interviews with artists from across the country, spotlights important Black figures in comic book history, and documents some of America’s rarest comic and art collections.

“We have a heavy impact,” Thompson told Pittsburgh City Paper in 2024. “There are so many unsung heroes in the comic industry, and there are some that have been pushed to the side, and there are some you don’t know because you just don’t know.”

'Disclosure Day' Introduction w/ Steadicam Operator Buzz Moyer
2026-06-19 19:30
Hear from a Sewickley resident who worked on Steven Spielberg’s latest alien epic!

If you missed John “Buzz” Moyer’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 introduction last month, here’s your next chance to hear him talk about a major film he worked on!

The Sewickley native is a longtime Hollywood veteran who recently served as a steadicam operator on Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s alien thriller that starts playing at The Lindsay on Friday, June 12.

Moyer will introduce The Lindsay’s 8 p.m. Disclosure Day screening on Friday, June 19. This talk will begin at 7:30 p.m., and the showing will start promptly at 8 p.m. He’ll discuss his career, a steadicam operator’s actual job description and what it’s like to shoot a Spielberg film.

Disclosure Day is Spielberg’s return to extraterrestrial-related cinema. The film’s title refers to a potential turning point in human history brought about by a whistleblower’s efforts to unravel a massive government conspiracy and reveal the existence of alien life. This highly anticipated summer release stars Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo and Colin Firth.

Moyer is a Sewickley Academy and Ithaca College graduate who has been working in the camera departments of major film and television productions since the late 1980s. His long list of credits includes 1995’s Sudden Death, 1999’s Dogma, 2006’s Rocky Balboa, the HBO drama Boardwalk Empire, 2012’s The Avengers, 2017’s The Post, 2021’s In the Heights and 2025’s The Housemaid.

He has previously regaled Lindsay audiences with stories from his time on the sets of 2021’s West Side Story remake, 2023’s Pittsburgh-shot dramedy A Man Called Otto and this year’s The Devil Wears Prada 2. Moyer also worked on two other major 2026 releases: Coyote vs. Acme, a live-action Looney Tunes adventure; and How to Rob a Bank, a Pittsburgh-filmed heist thriller.

A member of the Society of Camera Operators, Moyer proudly serves on the board of governors, nominating committee and education committee. Also a member of the Steadicam Operators Association, he instructs and mentors young and newly invested steadicam operators.

“The mentoring part is very important,” Moyer told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2021. “I have to give back. If someone gets inspired and wants to continue or do a career in the business, I’m happy to be a part of that to open their eyes to it.”
