SCHTICKING TO THE MAN SINCE 2003
Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad is a refreshing mix of comedy, music, spoken-word and show-stopping burlesque, featuring the gals who learned to smoke at Hebrew School, got drunk at their Bat-Mit
zvahs and would rather have more schtuppa than the chupah, featuring performers seen on Comedy Central, HBO and Late Night TV. These badass chosen chicks boldly dare to deconstruct years of tradition, expectations and guilt in a fast-paced vaudeville extravaganza. It's ain't yo' mama's Fiddler!
After cruising the US for 6 years, last year Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad opened at The Zipper Theater in NYC with a brand new show which received rave reviews - 3 stars- NY Post, Backstage called it "a spontaneous party" and the Village Voice said it was "super fun." This rendition of mishagas on wheels was directed by Michael Baron (Signature Theater, DC) and features "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" gets remixed, Tumbalaika gets a makeover and we all find out what's in Gefilte Fish...it's "Fear Factor" for Jews though you don't have to be Jewish to love these broads.
Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad features comedian Cynthia Levin (Comedy Central) and booty shakin' by Sister Schmaltz and hosted by queen of the quick change, The Goddess Perlman (Last Comic Standing).
Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad has been spreading their own brand of nuevo schmaltz across the land to sold-out crowds in NYC, DC, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, Pittsburgh, Madison, Detroit, Montreal, Burlington, Provincetown, The Berkshires, The Hamptons, and of course, The Catskills. Audiences can't get enough of these wayward girls!

Napoleon Dynamite 
$6 adults, $3 kids
Don’t miss this super-kitschy cult favorite that won Teen Choice Awards two years running and won an MTV Movie Award among others.
Preston, Idaho, the present. After their tough grandmother (Sandy Martin) is injured in a dune-buggy accident, nerdy Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) and his even nerdier 32-year old brother Kip (Aaron Ruell) are left in the dubious care of Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), a sleazy door-to-door salesman who is “living too much in ’82”. Almost by default, Napoleon meets and befriends new socially-excluded Mexican student Pedro (Efren Ramirez) and geeky amateur photographer Deb (Tina Majorino), and the odd trio manage, against all probability, to have something like a good time together at the school dance. So when hangdog Pedro decides to run in the election for school president against the popular Summer (Haylie Duff), Napoleon offers to help using all his special skills… (Movie Gazette)
Common Sense Media recommends for ages 11 and up.

Outdoor concert with Mystic Roots! Exciting details to be announced!
Serving up an original style based in reggae, hip-hop, and dancehall (with overtones of rock, funk, and ska), a Mystic Roots Band live concert guarantees not just at music for your ears, but also a high-energy show and powerful experience you'll never forget. This Chico-born, now San Diego-based group with strong San Geronimo Valley roots, brings a brand new sound while embracing the nature of roots reggae wholeheartedly and performing it with smooth vocals/harmonies, energetic freestyles and beat-boxing, all over a solid groove. The music and lyrics are catchy and upbeat, yet with a powerful, positive message. The musicianship of the players is top notch and arrangements are often complex and always interesting. The band tours the U.S. full-time, playing shows with some of the biggest names in reggae, hip hop, and rock. MRB promotes positivity and spreads a conscious message while still having a good time and keeping the party going. Fans describe MRB's music as a refreshing, energetic, and cutting-edge sound that people are immediately drawn to. As a result, MRB has developed an ever-growing legion of loyal fans. This fan base exists not only in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, but also in Europe, Latin America, Australia, and even several regions of Asia.
Over the years, Mystic Roots Band has made some stellar achievements. Here are just a few examples:
-Winning the LA Music Award for Best Reggae/Pop Album, “Constant Struggle"
- Being signed to Cornerstone R.A.S., which in the past has included bands like: Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, Shapeshifters, Public Enemy.. and many more.
- Starring in a one-hour episode of reality TV which aired nationwide on The Learning Channel (T.L.C.).
- Touring all over North America for 2 ½ years as reggae legend Pato Banton’s official band, playing some of the best amphitheaters, clubs, and festivals around.
In sum, with over 1,200 shows played in some of the finest venues across the land, a rapidly growing fan base, and scheduled release of the long-anticipated 2nd full-length album Cali-HI (Spring 2010), the Mystic Roots Band is working and touring harder than ever and are on a mission to take their road-tested, fresh, new sound to audiences worldwide.

WALL-E
$6 adults, $3 kids
...The late, great planet Earth, circa 2800 AD: Seven hundred years have passed since earthlings abandoned their hopelessly polluted, sun-scorched landfill of a planet and boarded the Axiom, an enormous ark/starship owned and operated by the ubiquitous, Wal-Mart-styled retail giant Buy N Large. Accor
ding to Shelby Forthright (Fred Willard), BnL's unctuous, Bush-ism-spouting CEO, the move was meant to be temporary: While Earth's citizens floated through space in cruise-line comfort, an army of solar-powered, trash-compacting androids known as WALL-Es (Waste Allocation Load Lifters -- Earth Class) would swarm the planet, collecting and compressing all the garbage into neat little piles, hopefully restore Earth to a state capable of sustaining life. "Operation Clean-Up" was meant to take five years, but seven centuries later earthlings are still drifting through space aboard the Axiom, and they've devolved into little more than technology dependent blobs of fat with little intelligence, muscle tissue or bone mass, and no memory of the bright blue marble they once called home. Meanwhile on Earth -- where the only sign of life among the ruined buildings and towering ziggurats of cubed garbage is the proverbially indestructible cockroach -- only one WALL-E (voice of Ben Burtt) seems to be still functioning. Each day, despite the existential fruitlessness of it all, WALL-E goes about his appointed rounds, collecting and compacting trash into small cubes and keeping random objects that strike his robotic fancy: a Rubik's cube, a light bulb, a Zippo lighter and a single slim, green sprout of plant life found safely hidden inside an abandoned refrigerator. Once his day is done, WALL-E and cockroach friend return to the derelict transport vehicle they call home to enjoy WALL-E's most prized possession: an old VHS cassette of the 1969 movie HELLO, DOLLY. Watching the screen lovers tentatively hold hands, fingers entwined, WALL-E longs for companionship. He gets more than he bargained for when a huge exploratory craft deposits a fetchingly sleek, Mac-inspired piece of glossy white high-tech robotics designed to test the Earth for life sustainability. Her name is EVE (Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator), and for lonely WALL-E, it's love at first sight….The film is bright, fast-paced fun in the Pixar tradition with an obvious environmental message…. It can hardly be called a children's film, but a masterpiece of feature-film animation for all ages. --Ken Fox
