At The Dietrich

Wonderful movies for you this coming weekend. Valentine’s Day is a perfect date movie. And if you don’t have a date, come with a pal. And if you don’t have a pal, come all by your lonesome, because at the Dietrich we believe that everyone has the God given right to come to a movie all by their very own selves! That’s what movies are for.
The movie is a series of little stories starring just about everyone in Hollywood – from Julia Roberts to Queen Latifah to Bradley Cooper and Patrick (McDreamy) Dempsey to Ann Hathaway and even to (here’s a blast from the past) Shirley McClain!!!! And there are many more I don’t have room to mention.
So do come just to be amused, to escape the winter blahs a bit. Then again, if your idea of escape is to be thoroughly absorbed in something that’s kinda scary and grabs you in the very beginning and refuses to take it’s twisted hand off your throat (thank heavens it’s all happening at the movies and not in real life!) then we have a perfect movie for you. We have the wonderful Benicio Del Toro and the insidiously wicked Anthony Hopkins in The Wolfman. Oooooh. Shiver. It looks so scary! I can’t wait!
And remember that we still have Avatar which is really, really good, by the way, and not in need of 3-D to make it memorable. I was surprised at how much I liked it when science fiction usually leaves me cold, but he’s created such a lovely world that I was sucked into it every minute.
Finally we have Mel Gibson’s Edge of Darkness which is a very satisfying mystery/adventure/whatever kind of film.
So, wouldn’t you say we have something for every taste this week at the Dietrich? Oh yes, I am trying to get Dear John and Crazy hearts. I’ll have them soon, I promise.
Spent the afternoon on the phone with Jeffrey going over Film Festival movies!!!! Ooooh. That is so exciting! I love booking the festival! And I have to say, that I’ve been so busy these past few weeks that I didn’t have much time to research what I wanted. But my super assistant and most dynamic supervisor, Ronnie Harvey, movie buff extraordinaire, handed me a list the other day which I then sent to Jeffrey who called me and said - -“Good list! I liked them all!” Wow! (Not to be in a snit here, but Jeffrey never said that about my lists. He’d say something like “Hmmmm. Interesting….let’s talk about it.”)
But really, it’s going to be a phenomenal festival. Next week, when they’re finally booked, I’ll tell you what Ronnie and Jeffrey cooked up. They look soooo good!
So, here is my email addy – hildya@epix.net. Here is my phone # - 836-0176. Would you mind taking a few minutes to email or call and tell me how you feel about 3-D? We are agonizing over it. It’s a $50,000.00 plus investment which we would have to borrow (unless someone out there getting a zillion wells would like to make a nice donation) and it ties up a screen for the duration of its run. And really, you need two so you can bring in two in a month if there were two you wanted. But besides the huge debt, there is the surcharge you have to add to each movie – between $1.50 and $3.00 per ticket. That seems like an awful lot to me. If we had brought in Avatar when it was first released would you have come to see it here in 2-D? Will you come to see Toy Story 3 in 2-D here? We go back and forth on this, back and forth. I just don’t know what we should do. I really don’t. So, could you take a sec or two and drop me a line or call and tell me how you feel about it. I’d surely appreciate hearing from you!
See you at the Dietrich.

Live at The Dietrich
by
Erica Rogler
In just a few days, local naturalist Rick Koval will be back at the Dietrich on Saturday, February 20th at 11:00 am. Join us as he shares his knowledge about the reptiles and amphibians that live in northeastern Pennsylvania. Rick’s talk will focus on 44 species of snakes, salamanders, lizards, toads, frogs, and turtles that he has studied and inventoried in our region over the past ten years. This presentation is perfect for nature lovers of any age and admission is free. We hope to see you there.
We also hope you can join us Wednesday night at 7:00 pm as we continue discussing The Grapes of Wrath at the Tunkhannock Public Library as part of our Wyoming County Reads project. We will be discussing “Hard Times” Then & Now: Analyzing the Indestructible Human Spirit. It should be interesting to see what ideas discussants bring up. I think Steinbeck did a great job of describing the hardships that people lived through during the Great Depression.
As a segue between book discussions and the play The Grapes of Wrath, the Dietrich will host a special presentation on Wednesday, March 3 at 7:00 pm entitled Images of the Dust Bowl and the Depression. Julia Peterson and Bill Chapla will share images from that time period that were captured by photojournalists like Dorothea Lange. Admission is free.
And now is the time to reserve tickets to see our community-based theatre production of The Grapes of Wrath that will run from March 10 to March 14. Gather up friends and family to experience this great American epic on the Dietrich stage. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the Dietrich Theater ticket booth or by calling 570-996-1500. We just can’t wait for opening night.
Speaking of theatrical productions, Determined Spirit: The Story of Amelia Earhart will be coming to the Dietrich in March. On Sunday, March 21 at 2:00 pm, you will be invited to embark on a sentimental journey as actress and historian Monica Hoffman will perform as Amelia Earhart in a one woman show that reveals the life and legacy of the world’s most celebrated female aviator. Tickets are $5 each. For more information about this presentation, call the Dietrich at 570-996-1500.
