ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN
"Magnificent! One of the most beautiful documentaries the cinema has given us." - Cahiers du Cinéma
“One of the few independent documentaries made in Ireland in the 1960s, Lennon’s film takes a revealing snapshot of his country post-revolution and finds a society straining under the pressure of social and religious traditions. After one screening in Dublin in 1968, Rocky Road… was suppressed for three decades and never released in Irish cinemas or shown on Irish television. Its international fame was sealed when it became the final film to be shown at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, before Godard, Truffaut and co. shut the event down. More than just a fascinating time-capsule piece, this exceptional, rarely-seen documentary still remains resonant today.” – ICA, London
Presented in association with the Irish Arts Center.

Jack
and the Beanstalk
an experimental musical with puppets by Natalie Weiss
TICKETS
NOW ON SALE! Click here to purchase.
Hand,
shadow, and over-life-size puppets. Hot girls and schizophrenics.
Turntables and accordions. Get ready for your favorite fairy tale
to be gutted by Subway Sandwich Artists and re-stuffed with strap-ons
and dusty vinyl in: Jack and the Beanstalk, a hilarious sample-based
musical by Natalie Weiss. Jack's hometown, a peaceful land of
dumpster-diving drag queens and roller-skating nymphs, is turned
on its head when a conglomerate of condominium-heaving corporate
Giants follow Jack down his beanstalk. Inspired by the unlawful
dispossession of 70 year-old Brooklynite Phyllis Mascia, who plays
Mother Goose, Jack and the Beanstalk is an irreverent, musical
look at development, displacement and penis envy.

DAGMAR
w/special guest THE SIGNAL CORPS
hosted by KRISTEN SCHALL
Twisting music and narrative together, the insect-worshipping NYC rock band DAGMAR is “up for just about anything, as long as it has more than four legs."
“What anchors the band is the singers’ voices: his is weary and experienced, hers is hauntingly beautiful, and they play back and forth over a soundtrack that is equal parts rock fury and jazzy resignation. Their energy, even as they sing about wanting to stay in bed all day, is contagious." -- Richichi Reviews

POINT BREAK LIVE:
The Cult Hit Returns for an Extended Run!
Point Break LIVE!, the absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu Reeves extreme-sports blockbuster, surfs into Galapagos for an exclusive engagement.
The show, which garnered a “Seattle P-I Best of Seattle 2004” award, as well as rave reviews across the nation, tells the story of former College football star Johnny Utah—Keanu Reeves in the film—in pursuit of the bankrobbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-cum-Zenmaster Bodhi Sattva (Patrick Swayze—here played by Gearick Matthies), and features armed robbery, big-wave surfing, car chases, explosions, and no less than two extended skydiving sequences.
Best of all, the starring role of Keanu will be selected at random from the audience each night, and will read their entire script off of cue-cards!
Seattle P-I Theatre Critic Joe Adcock noted that, “the worse it gets, the better it gets,” and, in singling it out for a Best of 2004 award, praised the play as, “Sensationally idiotic.”
