Tuesday, December 7th 2010 – Pot Luck Dinner & Raffle

Free Movie Night 7:00 pm Sputnik Bar, Coral Bay 776-6644 PLAYING FOR CHANGE: PEACE THROUGH MUSIC by Mark Johnson and Johnathan Walls (83min) 2009 In this story of hope, struggle, perseverance and joy, the Playing For Change team traveled the globe with a single minded passion to connect the world through music. Their ambitious journey took them from post-apartheid South Africa, through the ancient sites of the Middle East, to the remote beauty of the Himalayas and beyond. Along the way, they filmed and recorded more than 100 musicians, largely outdoors in parks, plazas and promenades, in doorways, on cobblestone streets and amid hilly pueblos. Each captured performance creates a new mix in which the artists are essentially all performing together, albeit hundreds or thousands of miles apart. This is the story of an unparalleled international musical collaboration and its remarkable power of redemption. bbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb POT LUCK DINNER & RAFFLE: Food, Fun & Fabulous Prizes! 6:00 pm, Sputnik 776-6644 Join us before the show for our second annual Pot Luck Dinner and Raffle. Tickets will be sold at the door: $5 each or 5 for $20.

July 22 – Classic Film Night & Dinner with La Plancha del Mar

Free Movie Night 7:00 pm Marketplace 3rd Floor, St John CASABLANCA by Michael Curtiz (102 min) 1942 They had a date with fate in Casablanca! This classic romantic melodrama, set in the Vichy controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca, is a masterful tale of two men vying for the same woman’s love. Rick, played by Humphrey Bogart, must choose between his love for Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) and doing the right thing by helping her and her Resistance leader husband escape from Casablanca. This story of political and romantic espionage is set against the backdrop of the wartime conflict between democracy and totalitarianism. The film, wrapped in a rich, smoky atmosphere and accompanied by  a superb musical score, is filled with suspense, unforgettable characters and memorable lines of dialogue. One of the most popular, magical and flawless films of all time – focused on the themes of lost love, honor and duty, self-sacrifice and romance within a chaotic world.
