Race to Nowhere

TUES, FEB 9, 7:30PM
SOLD OUT

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

Directed by Vicki Abeles

Documentary

RACE TO NOWHERE is a close-up look at the pressures on today's students, offering an intimate view of lives packed with activities, leaving little room for down-time or family time.

Parents today are expected to raise high-achieving children, who are good at everything: academics, sports, the arts, community-service. The film tackles the tragic side of our often achievement-obsessed culture, with interviews that explore the hidden world of over-burdened schedules, student suicide, academic cheating, young people who have checked out.

RACE TO NOWHERE asks the question: Are the young people of today prepared to step fully and productively into their future?

Official Selection, 2009 Mill Valley Film Festival

NT Live: The Habit of Art

National Theatre from London
Live via Satellite
Thurs., April 22, 2010, 6:30pm
Sat, April 24, 2010, 1pm Encore Presentation

A new play by Alan Bennett (History Boys, Madness of King George III)
Directed by Nicholas Hytner

This premiere may well be the biggest London show of 2009-10. The play deals with the relationship of the poet W H Auden and the composer Benjamin Britten. Richard Griffiths is set to play Auden whilst Alex Jennings will play Britten. This is the story of an imagined meeting of Auden and Britten in the 1960s towards the end of their lives. The two had worked together on the documentary ‘Night Mail’ and the operetta ‘Paul Bunyan’ but fell out with each other in the 1940s. This play is expected to emulate the huge success of past Bennett premieres at the National.

Tickets:
$30 Reserved Seats
Students 17 and under $24
