We are now 28 days aways from the first performance of the Ogunquit Playhouse’s production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at our Historic Theater. I can not wait for this show to come to life on our stage. Growing up I was obsessed with Belle, she liked to read, had great clothes, was very independent, and well, she was a brunette, she understood me.Read More

Happy Halloween! And congratulations for being residents of the only state I know of to do its trick-or-treating on the day before Halloween. Makes you feel special, doesn’t it?
So, movies. Tomorrow night (Tuesday), we have a comedy coming to The Music Hall, which seems appropriate, as comedy has become a big business. It used to be that the only way a comedian had to get his/her material in front of a large audience was to make an LP album.Read More

These are hard times for movie Westerns. Not many of them are being made, and the ones that make it out of the major studios (The Adequate Seven?) lack enough conviction to sell their formula or enough imagination to concoct a new one. And that leaves a little hunger in my cinema soul, a wish for some action in a dry, sparse landscape, lawman versus outlaw with a final showdown on a deserted street. *Sigh* What to do, what to do?Read More

I first met Sara Curry when my friend talked me into taking a Bikram Yoga class at Sara’s studio six years ago. While Bikram ended up being a passing interest of mine, I was thrilled that I got the chance to meet and learn from her.

People like to say that movies are timeless. But they’re not. Every one of them is a statement about the time they were made, the state of the world, the state of technology, the issues that were resonating with people at the time. As popular and as prevalent as some movies have become through the years, by shear volume of global film production, it can be all too easy for even great works by known masters to sink into obscurity, and disappear from popular consciousness.Read More

September is my favorite month, it is the start of fall, the beginning of football (I’m happy to share that I’m undefeated in both of my fantasy leagues), the Fairy House tour takes place (I have my wings ready), my birthday, and the Telluride by the Sea Film Festival comes to The Music Hall. Telluride is my favorite weekend at The Music Hall. I love that our little town gets some of the best movies before they are released, and I get to see them with some of my very favorite people.Read More
