“Art is a fairy tale we choose to believe in, and this movie, a fiction confected about real people, is too good not to be true.” -- A.O. Scott, New York Times

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
This movie exactly describes my high school experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone…It is impossible to put into words how much this movie emotionally touched me.--Molly, Marin School

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
