Spirit & The Screen: Get “LOST” in San Marino - Friday, August 22nd

Even paradise seems like a prison if you're there against your will. That's the central conflict in the mind of world-weary Robert Conway (played by the dashing Ronald Colman) in the haunting 1937 film "Lost Horizon," based on the classic novel by James Hilton and directed by Frank Capra. This is one of the all-time great movies, with a stellar supporting cast that includes Jane Wyatt, Sam Jaffe, Edward Everett Horton, and Thomas Mitchell.

Journey with us once again (or maybe for the first time) to Shangri-La in the Valley of Blue Moon for our Second Annual "Spirit & the Screen Under the Stars” on Friday, August 22nd, in the back yard of the Cribbs family, right next to the church.

It's a cool film for a hot summer night and fun for all ages! We'll gather for dinner and fellowship about 7:30 and screen the film as soon after 8:00 as darkness allows.

Come to a special place on a special night and time for an evening of cinematic magic. Tell a friend!

NOVEMBER 1 – 23, 2008

“THE MYSTERY PLAYS”
By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Directed by Donald Shenk

This provocative drama follows its characters through two related stories involving a train wreck, a ghost and a family murder. Like the original medieval mystery plays, Aguirre-Sacasa’s play wrestles with the most profound of human ideas: the mysteries of death, the afterlife, religion, faith, and forgiveness—in a uniquely American way. The New York Times called it, “stylish and spine-tingling…and irresistible.
