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:Cinema Paradiso
DESCRIPTION:Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPG | 2h 35 m | Drama\, Romance \n\n\n\nDirector: Giuseppe Tornatore     \n\n\n\nStars: Philippe Noiret\, Jacques Perrin\, Salvatore Cascio \n\n\n\nIn Italian\, with English subtitles \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA celebration of the timeless allure of the big screen\, Cinema Paradiso won the 1990 Best Foreign Film Oscar\, and\, according to Empire\, is one of the greatest films of all time. \n\n\n\nDirector Giuseppe Tornatore “plugged into something vital about the hold movies have on us\,” declares Rolling Stone. “Movie lovers will lose their hearts to Cinema Paradiso… for Tornatore’s vigorous demonstration of the enduring power of dreams.” \n\n\n\nThe New York Times says the film’s “child’s-eye view of the world—a view bursting with wonder\, curiosity and longing—feels emotionally authentic” despite projectionist Alfredo’s admonishment to the young\, film-driven Toto\, “Life isn’t like it is in the movies. Life is harder.”  \n\n\n\nThis film has been a beloved summer staple at The Lindsay since the Theater’s opening in 2017.

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.

SUMMARY:The 90s Club: Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:After screening The 90s Club\, filmgoers will join a discussion about the issues facing today’s 90- somethings. The screening of the award-winning documentary (Best Feature Film at the Manhattan Film Festival) will begin at 1 p.m. and will be followed by a 2:30 p.m. discussion in The Lindsay’s Community Room. Film producer and Gibsonia resident Sheri Ward will attend and participate in the discussion. While admission is free\, registration is requested online. \n\n\n\nThe 90s Club hands the microphone to 12 charming people in their 90s and turns aside any easy preconceptions about people of their age. They’re enjoying a great sense of well-being while gracefully accepting life’s ups and downs. \n\n\n\nThe documentary features a dozen diverse individuals including actor Dick Van Dyke\, a Cleveland man who survived three concentration camps during the Holocaust\, a still-practicing attorney who represented Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks\, a 99-year-old woman who taught in a one-room schoolhouse and the world’s oldest performing drag queen. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfEyvn6xv3o\n\n\n\n\nThey candidly talk about death and loss\, but also about love and connection\, about accomplishment and meaning. Through their touching\, sometimes humorous and reflective stories\, they offer insight on how one can become so wise through life experience. \n\n\n\n“Part of the reason of this documentary was to show that there is not only plenty of life\, but intelligence\, wisdom and reflection in your 90s\,” director Robert Darwell told the Los Angeles Business Journal. Additionally\, Darwell intended to highlight how the elderly and their interests are often sidelined alongside other issues. \n\n\n\n“Over the last decade\, among a lot of attention on social justice for different groups—while well needed—one group I felt like wasn’t getting a lot of attention still was the very elderly\,” he said. “And yet the one common denominator for all of us\, if we’re lucky to get there\, is that we’ll all be old. All of us at some point get to be an older person and there is an immediate prejudice of sorts when you think of someone in their 80s or 90s and people prejudge that they’re not going to be as ‘with it.’” \n\n\n\n“A young frame of mind is very important\, especially when you get older\,” says one interviewee.

SUMMARY:Titanic
DESCRIPTION:James Cameron’s Titanic is an epic\, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and\, at the time\, the largest moving object ever built. The “ship of dreams” ultimately carried over 1\,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15\, 1912. The film won of 11 Oscars and still provokes debate 25 years after its release. \n\n\n\nThe powerful draw of Titanic relates to “more emotional\, less commercial reasons\,” according to the New York Times. “Titanic tells a story that is perceived to be true; it is a tragic love story of operatic dimension because the denouement is known; it demonstrates the terrifying and mystical power of nature\, and it has in Leonardo DiCaprio a fated working-class hero with whom teenage girls fall in love.” \n\n\n\nBrian Gleeson\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Brian Gleeson\, the Harry S. Tack Chaired Professor of Materials Science and Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh\, specializes in physical metallurgy and the impact of temperature on metallic alloys and coatings. Before the screening\, Dr. Brian Gleeson will share how steel materials have advanced since the brittle steel that fails at low temperatures was used to build the luxury ocean liner that sunk in iceberg-strewn waters. \n\n\n\n“Titanic was a box office gamble at the time due to its tumultuous production and lack of recognizable actors (DiCaprio and Winslet weren’t A-listers yet)\, but it ended up being a monumental success\, scoring high praise from critics and becoming the highest-grossing film of all time until 2010\, when the original Avatar (also directed by Cameron) took its place\,” says Collider\, reporting on the film’s 25th anniversary re-release. Initially\, Collider called this epic “the most important disaster movie ever made.” \n\n\n\n“This movie behemoth still has the power to shake us rigid and touch the soul.” Times (UK) \n\n\n\n“Cameron is a genius at instilling narrative dread and designing a hokum-drenched fairy tale of a certain size.” Chicago Tribune \n\n\n\n“Titanic is big\, bold\, touchingly uncynical filmmaking.” Newsweek.

SUMMARY:Woman In Motion
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center launches its 2023 three-part Science on Screen film/speaker series with Astrobotic\, the CMU spin-off that’s building lunar landers on Pittsburgh’s North Side\, and its affiliated Moonshot Museum\, the only space museum in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nThe event recognizes March 28 as National Day of Science on Screen. Importantly\, it also demonstrates that not only does science impact the cultural landscape\, but culture can significantly impact the world of science. \n\n\n\nWhen the high profile National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was struggling to recruit team members and earn public support in 1977\, Nichelle Nichols\, the late Star Trek actress (Lt. Uhura)\, began an initiative that diversified the agency\, recruiting more than 8\,000 Black\, Asian and Latinx men—and women. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers: Elena Petrak\, senior quality assurance engineer at Astrobotic\, the Pittsburgh-based lunar lander builder\, who also promotes STEM careers with children through young adults. At 7 p.m.\, before the screening\, Petrak will give the brief presentation Now Launching: Engineering\, Lunar Landers and Alternative Pathways to STEM Careers. She also will be available to answer questions after the film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLauren Shalek\, manager of operations and visitor services\, and Mike Hennessy\, manager of programs and learning\, at the Moonshot Museum\, will share information about Pennsylvania’s first space museum\, which encourages the next generation of space engineers with views of behind-the-scenes assembly action. \n\n\n\nShalek and Hennessy will welcome people at their information table in the Theater’s lobby– where attendees have the opportunity to write a message that will be carried to the moon. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Nichols is credited with opening the eyes of NASA to the idea that ‘the right stuff’ was not the exclusive purview of white male test pilots\, while helping to convince women and minorities of the same thing\,” says the Wall Street Journal. \n\n\n\n“And overnight—in mere months—the culture changed\,” remarks Roger Moore’s Movie Nation. The “eye-opening and inspiring film…underscores Nichols’ undeniable contribution to broadening NASA’s horizons and drumming up interest in STEM education among minority students all over America with her work.

SUMMARY:Sewickley's African American Community Documentary Project
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center is honored to host a free community event marking the kickoff of Their Story: The History of the African American Community in Sewickley\, on Sunday\, Feb. 26\, 5 to 7 p.m. \n\n\n\nAfter last year’s first standing-room-only event to preview the digitization of photos dating back to the 1900s\, collected from the Sewickley Community Center and the Daniel B. Matthews Society of St. Matthew AME Zion Church\, a committee formed to advance a documentary film. Its goal is to make more widely known the untold history of Sewickley’s Black community\, based upon these photos and narrative from Their Story: The History of Blacks/African Americans in Sewickley & Edgeworth\, a book published in 2000 by the late Sewickley resident Bettie Cole. \n\n\n\nThe documentary is not yet completed; in fact\, the work is only starting and the founding committee is encouraging community members to lend their voices\, stories and memories of social and business events from the past through current times. At this kickoff planning event\, more details will be shared and opportunities offered for others to join the project. \n\n\n\n“Last year’s event was such a success that participants agreed that the community would be well served to memorialize this information in the form of a documentary\,” explains Stratton Nash\, co-chair of the project’s committee\, alongside Gwen Strickland\, Cole’s daughter. \n\n\n\n“Our community members hold a wealth of knowledge about this important aspect of Sewickley Valley’s history\,” says Strickland. “We are hoping to capture all their stories in this project.” \n\n\n\nThey will be joined on Sunday in the Community Room of The Lindsay by project committee members Beverlee Blair\, Gloria Cook\, Floyd Faulkner\, Susan Kaminski\, Shelley Murray\, Stratton Nash III\, Joyce Parker\, Bob Patterson\, Dorinda Taylor\, Brett Wormsley and June Wormsley. \n\n\n\nThose planning to attend this free event are encouraged to RSVP at theirstory15143@gmail.com. Light refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\nOn Sundays\, metered parking on the street and in the municipal lot adjacent to the Theater is free.

SUMMARY:2023 Oscar Ballot Contest
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center (formerly The Tull Family Theater) has upped the ante for its annual Oscar contest. \n\n\n\nThe Theater will screen as many Oscar-nominated films as possible between Friday\, Feb. 17\, through the Academy Awards Ceremony on Sunday\, March 12. This gives patrons plenty of opportunity to watch on the big screen\, channel the Academy’s reactions–and increase their odds of winning a pass good for watching films at the Theater for the rest of 2023. \n\n\n\nTo win big\, they’ll have to nail the Best Picture and successfully predict the most winners in all other 23 Oscar categories. \n\n\n\n“Competition for the Oscars and our Oscar contest is always fierce\, and it’s amazing how closely so many people’s choices align with the Academy’s\,” says Carolina Thor\, CEO of the nonprofit cultural center. “To celebrate our name change to The Lindsay earlier this year\, we’ve decided to extend cinematic privileges to the winner for the rest of the year instead of only one visit. This means if the winner wants to watch a film for free every day\, from March 13 to Dec. 31\, they can. If the winner would rather binge and spend a whole day in our screening rooms\, they can. And if they want to do something in between\, well\, we’re happy to see them at the Theater!” \n\n\n\nOscar ballots are available only at the Theater\, 418 Walnut St.\, Sewickley\, and can be picked up by patrons watching films starting when the first Oscar nominees roll on Friday\, Feb. 17. Make your best predictions as to who will take home the statuettes this year\, and remember to include your name\, email and phone number on the ballot. Ballots (one entry per person\, please) must be returned to the Theater by 8 p.m. on Saturday\, March 11. \n\n\n\nMay the region’s sharpest–or luckiest–film buff win! Pass is non-transferable.

SUMMARY:Slow Drift Film Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:Inaugural Female-Produced Film Festival Coming to The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center will host the inaugural film festival of Slow Drift Productions on Thursday\, Jan. 5\, at 7 p.m. \n\n\n\nTen shorts\, curated by Zoe Xandra\, founder of Pittsburgh-based Slow Drift Productions\, share thriller\, horror and sci fi works of women in Pennsylvania and New York. \n\n\n\n“Horror and thriller films have been long affiliated with the region because of the work of the late George Romero\, yet in the five decades since Romero first released his films\, women have not been widely recognized for their work in these genres\,” Xandra says. “This festival seeks to change that and encourage women’s artistic development.” \n\n\n\nAdmission to the festival is free\, but seating is limited\, so reservations are requested at the Theater’s website. Given the themes\, the festival is recommended for mature audiences. \n\n\n\nXandra\, a Mount Lebanon native now living in The Strip District\, created Slow Drift as a collective before graduating from Point Park University’s Cinema Arts program in 2020. As a Teaching Assistant in the Theater’s youth career readiness program this past summer\, she learned that the Theater makes its screening room available to local filmmakers for free and decided to launch the festival in Sewickley. \n\n\n\nThe Theater’s Emerging Filmmakers Showcase supports local artists\, builds their audiences and more closely engages the community in the creative process\, says Theater CEO Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor. “Response from the community has been tremendous\,” Thor shares. \n\n\n\nThe two hours of festival films will be followed by award presentations in the Theater’s Community Room. \n\n\n\nFestival films\, listed in order of screenings\, are: \n\n\n\n\nCamp Moose Tracks: A boy shipped off to summer camp slowly realizes that he’s the last ingredient for the camp cult. Director\, Leia Devin.\n\n\n\nThe Herbalist: A grief-filled woman uses herbalism to revive her lover.
