Tasting the Big Apple: Movie & Bus Trip

Proceeds support cultural programming at the Dietrich Theater in downtown Tunkhannock

Tickets: $130 each. Call the Dietrich at 570-996-1500 to register.

Movie: Monday, November 1 at 7:00 p.m at the Dietrich Theater

See the classic 1987, Oscar-winning film Moonstruck on the big screen for a taste of New York and Italian culture. New York City plays a central role in this romantic comedy/drama starring Cher and Nicolas Cage. A dessert reception will follow. Come and meet the bus trip guides and other participants.

Bus Trip: Wednesday, November 3

Bus will depart from Dietrich at 8 a.m. and will return at about 10 p.m.

I remember, about eight years ago, having just opened a really lovely Disney film which crashed and burned upon arrival, saying to one of the kids who worked here, “I’m worried that we’ll never have a hit again.” I look back at the years that have passed and I have to smile when I remember all the hits that have come to nestle in the arms of the Dietrich. But when you’re going through dry times, when it seems as if every movie that opens causes a huge cosmic yawn, sometimes it’s hard to keep the faith.

And then, in true movie form, kapow! Superhero movie comes in to rescue the damsels in distress (or in our case the mature dames in distress) and for a little while we can forget all our troubles and do a happy dance. Until, of course, the next movie we thought would be a big hit comes along and nobody cares. The flip side of that, however, is that little movie that sneaks in unawares, no buzz on it, no phone calls, no nuttin’, it opens and the theater fills like some kind of miracle on Tioga Street and …well…everything’s okay, our faith is restored and all is well with the world. It’s quite the trip. Glad you’re here to share it with us, dear friends, because sometimes it feels like we’re watching a 3D world in 2D.

Now, I want to talk again briefly about our super special Halloween weekend. On Friday the 29^th, at midnight, we will have one showing only of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Costumes, please. It sold out last year, so make those reservations soon. (Although it’s possible it won’t sell out in advance so you can take your chances at the door.)

Then on Saturday night we have two 3D movies (Piranha and My Soul To Take) and Let Me In, which, although in 2D is supposed to be really, really scary. For all three movies plus a free popcorn with a soda of the same size, the cost is just 20 bucks. So, you may ask, how much am I saving to see this veritable banquet of horror??? Let me tell you. The two 3D films would be, if shown separately, 10 buckolas each, and then the third film would be eight so it would be 28, and say you get the large free popcorn with the large soda, you can add another 5 and you have $33.00 as your final total! So, you get a thirty-three dollar value for just $20.00 and you get all the scariness you can stand! (If you have a tricky ticker you should probably choose one of our other theaters because these movies are sooooo scary!) You can call 996-1500 to get tix in advance, or you can just come to the door. The screamy scary fun starts at 6:00, so come prepared to shiver!

See you at the Dietrich.

Since Halloween is just a week away, the Dietrich is busy gearing up for a weekend of scary movie fun. We will once again be showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show this Friday, October 29 at 11:55 pm. All are invited to come out and enjoy this cult flick from 1975 featuring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick. Like most theaters that show The Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight, we encourage you to dress up for the evening and take part in our movie costume contest. So gather up your friends, and come out to the Dietrich to celebrate this fantastical film. Last year it sold out, so pick up your tickets today!

The next night Saturday, October 30^th starting at 6:00 p.m., the Dietrich will host a three-movie thriller event. Join us for this spooktacular evening featuring the new horror movies Let Me In, Piranha in 3D and My Soul To Take which is also in 3-D. We are offering a great package deal for the evening -$20 admission for all three films, plus free popcorn with the purchase of a drink of the same size. You really can’t beat that price for 3 movies - it’s a full night of entertainment. You can purchase advance tickets at the Dietrich’s ticket booth or by calling us at 570-996-1500. It will definitely be a fun-filled weekend!

The fun will not end with the weekend though. On Monday, November 1^st, the Dietrich will be showing another great movie from the past, Moonstruck. That’s right! As part of our fundraiser “Tasting the Big Apple: Movie and Bus Trip”, you will have the opportunity to see this 1987, Oscar-winning film on the big screen for a taste of New York and Italian culture. I think Cher and Nicolas Cage were amazing in this film, and for it to be set in New York City is an added plus. After the film, we will host a dessert reception so bus trip participants can meet the trip guides and other participants.

Then on Wednesday, November 3^rd, you will get to experience New York City first hand. Participants can choose to be dropped off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Rockefeller Center and 5^th Avenue; or Washington Square, Greenwich Village. At each stop, a guide will be available to lead a group around the location or participants can spend the day on their own. At 5 p.m., all participants will gather for an Italian dinner at Carmine’s. A few seats are still available for the trip and tickets are $130 each. The ticket price includes the movie with dessert reception, bus and dinner, including tax and tips, plus a contribution to the Dietrich Theater. All proceeds will support cultural programming for children at the theater. Call 570-996-1500 for more information or to make a reservation.

If you are more interested in classes, the Dietrich has some great jewelry making workshops coming up in November. I just took a Wire Bead Crochet class the theater offered this past week and loved it! Instructor Jane Jones taught us how to make a beautiful necklace in just three hours! It was easy and fun, and we all went home with finished pieces. The format of the jewelry making classes we are offering in November are similar, they only take a few hours, all materials are supplied and you leave with a beautifully finished product. On Monday, November 1 from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., students will learn the basics of working with silver clay to create silver jewelry pieces of their own design in Esther Harmatz’s Intro to Art Clay Silver workshop. Participants will have the option of fabricating pendants, pins or earrings. Admission is $65.

Then on Monday, November 22 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm, you will have the opportunity to expand your knowledge of working with silver clay, by taking Esther’s Embellish with Silver Clay class. In this session you will learn how to use silver clay to create borders and decorative encasements for two fused glass pieces. Like our other jewelry classes, all materials will be provided, but you may bring your own small fused glass pieces if you wish. Intro to Art Clay Silver is a prerequisite and admission is $60. Call the Dietrich for more information or to sign up for these classes, or visit us online at www.dietrichtheater.com.

At The Dietrich by Hildy Morgan Did I say last week that this is a very strange business???? Well, let me reiterate. This is a very strange business. Remember how I didn’t want to bring in Jackass 3D because it’s dumb, and also because I didn’t think anyone would come except, of course, for my nephew who would for sure come because I had humiliated him by quoting our Jackass 3D conversation the week before. Or something. Okay. So. It just so happens that everything I thought about it was totally wrong. Oh, not the icky gross part. Nope, the movie is just as nauseating as I thought it was (no, I didn’t see it, but I have heard about it ad infinitum). The part that I didn’t get right was the part where I thought nobody would come to see it. Whoa, was I ever wrong!! It was the big hit of the weekend. Not just here, mind you, but nationwide. Boxofficeprophets, which does a pretty right-on guess about the weekend take on a movie on the Friday before it opens, guessed completely wrong. They estimated a weekend take of around 21 million, and it brought in 50 million. And that was reflected in the fact that it was the top dog here at the Dietrich, followed closely by RED and a resurgent Secretariat. So, for the first time in about six weeks, we had a really, really good weekend!!! I remember, about eight years ago, having just opened a really lovely Disney film which crashed and burned upon arrival, saying to one of the kids who worked here, “I’m worried that we’ll never have a hit again.” I look back at the years that have passed and I have to smile when I remember all the hits that have come to nestle in the arms of the Dietrich.
