Terribly Happy

Date: May 7,2010
Times: 5:30 and 8 p.m.
Place: Tower Theater, 815 E. Olive Avenue


Tickets: $10 general, $8 students & seniors

CineCulture, together with Filmworks, presents:

Terribly Happy (2009). Directed by Henrik Ruben. Robert Hanson (Jakob Cedergren) is a Copenhagen police officer who, following a nervous breakdown, is transferred to a small provincial town to take on the mysteriously vacated Marshall position and subsequently gets mixed up with a married femme fatale. Robert’s big city temperament makes it impossible for him to fit in, or understand the uncivilized, bizarre behavior displayed by the townspeople. Terribly Happy displays a unique, often macabre vision of the darkest depths to which people will go to achieve a sense of security and belonging. Danish with English subtitles, 90 min, not rated.

Time Again in Oz

University Theatre presents

Time Again in Oz

Dates & Times:
May 7-8 and 11-15 at 8 p.m.
May 9 & 15 at 2 p.m

Location: Fresno State, John Wright Theatre

The play is a musical adaptation of Frank L. Baum’s Ozma of Oz. In this re-imagined version, Dorothy (Sarah Lofgren), Bill (her pet chicken – Molly Kelly) and her Uncle Henry (a crotchety old man in a wheelchair – Matthew McGee) are transported to Oz by a wild storm at sea. Time has been stopped in Oz for what seems like years. After run-ins with the Gnome King (Edward Anderson) and the Wheelers, Dorothy is sure she doesn’t want to have another adventure here. But she soon finds herself embroiled in Oz affairs.
