Neeson is the voice of Homo Sapiens – our collective humankind – who, in the past few thousand years, has come to believe that we are separate from nature. Through Sapiens’ journey, the film reveals how a connection with nature ignites a sense of meaning and wonder so profound that it touches the very core of what it means to be human. Interweaving  mesmerizing imagery and interview footage, Love Thy Nature is a guided tour of our relationship with nature that proposes new approaches to a sustainable future.

  • On Screen/in Person: Hilleman – A Perilous Quest to Save the World’s Children

    The Twentieth-Century was a dangerous time to be young. Before vaccines, there were a multitude of diseases that too often kept children from reaching even their teenage years.  From the throws of that environment, Dr. Maurice Hilleman would emerge to lead a revolution in vaccine innovation and save many millions of young lives each year. But after being forced to retire at the height of his productivity in 1985, Hilleman watched as one company after another began to abandon vaccine research.  When parents began choosing not to vaccinate their children in the 1990s the cruel irony became clear; Hilleman’s unprecedented successes had allowed us to forget just how devastating childhood diseases could be.

    There will be a post screening Q&A with the director Donald Rayne Mitchell.

  • CANCELLED: Jarrod Spector & Kelli Barrett This Is Dedicated: Music’s Greatest Marriages

    DUE TO SCHEDULING DIFFICULTIES THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
    Newly-married Broadway veterans Jarrod Spector and Kelli Barrett are often asked, “What’s it like to be married to a fellow artist?”

    Bringing to life the greatest songs birthed from the greatest marriages, the two attempt to answer the question. From Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil and Alan & Marilyn Bergman to Sonny & Cher to Beyonce & Jay-Z, the themes of love, heartbreak, triumph, and despair infuse not only these incredible songs but also the storied partnerships themselves. In an evening filled with humor, heart, and powerhouse vocals, Barrett & Spector celebrate marriage as the driving force behind this timeless music and tackle the difficult questions behind keeping it all together.

    Audiences can expect to hear such classics as Bruce Springsteen/Patti Scialfa’s “Because The Night,” Sonny & Cher’s “The Beat Goes On,” Johnny Cash & June Carter’s “Going To Jackson,” The Bergman’s “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” and many more songs written and/or performed by iconic married couples.

    Tony Award nominee Jarrod Spector originated the role of Barry Mann in Beautiful. About his 54 Below debut, The New York Times wrote: “Witty, energetic and infused with a jolt of passion!” Jarrod is also known for his vocal prowess in the role of Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys, which he played on Broadway.

    Kelli Barrett recently originated the leading role of Lara in Broadway’s Doctor Zhivago. She has also appeared on Broadway in Wicked, Baby It’s You!, and The Royal Family.
