In this BRAND NEW SERIES, join Raffaele on 5 select Thursday nights as he presents an evening of casual conversations with guest artists.

This movie, soaked in music and blood, reunites the director of Black Panther and Creed with his favorite leading man. Identical twins, both played by Michael B. Jordan, return to the Mississippi Delta to build a juke joint. Their cousin’s mystical prowess with the guitar draws the attention of an Irish vampire, who seeks access to the juke joint for his own mysterious purposes.

The theater is alive with The Sound of Music!

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
