SMALL SPACE - BIG EXPERIENCE 2 DIRECTOR’S NOTES

Dear TCAN Members, I’m using this opportunity to share some exciting news related to our membership program, and also provide an answer to the question I’m asked most frequently these days, which is: How is the new movie theater going? First, let’s talk about the movies.

Response to the new cinema has exceeded all our expectations. Here are some highlights: • Sold out screenings of West Side Story for our grand opening • Sold out screenings of Ron Howard’s new Beatles film,Eight Days A Week • A screening of the film1984 , in conjunction with over 200 art house cinemas nationwide • A private daytime screening of Casablanca for over 100 of Natick’s senior citizens • A special screening of Lamb, featuring a director talkback with director Yared Zeleke of Ethiopia • Sold out screening of the documentary I Am Not Your Negro, with a moderated discussion • Launch of the Kids Film series with Aladdin and Wizard of Oz We’re also delighted to announce a series of new and classic films followed by an audience discussion, moderated by movie critic and arts advocate Joyce Kulhawik. We’ll call the series Joyce’s Choices (of course!). We think our intimate cinema room is the perfect venue for this kind of special event. Regarding membership. It was way back in 2010 (seven years ago!) when we last updated TCAN membership benefits and levels, and we are finalizing an announcement that will add new movie-related benefits for TCAN members including discounts on movie tickets, discounted popcorn, free movie passes, and at higher levels of membership, an all-access pass to see any film on a weekday screening. Watch our email announcement for more information. All of this would not be possible without your continued support and attendance. My deepest gratitude goes out to all of you. Please stop by and say hello the next time you visit TCAN.

Sincerely, David Lavalley Executive Director

COMEDY Boston Comics: Lenny Clarke & Friends Saturday July 8 8PM $30 public | $25 members Veteran Boston stand-up comedian Lenny Clarke has an oddly calibrated act — his material and his perspective is very much in an old-school Don Rickles vein, but his attitude is very much that of a quick-witted young comic. This contrast comes wrapped in a conversational, deceptively genial delivery, with just brief moments of clowning. Clarke is also unpredictable in a very good way on stage — you don’t know where he’s going to go next. It’s never the same show twice. He’s a unique and funny performer … truly worth catching. — NYC Review lennyclarke.weebly.com
