Performances – Peter and the
Wolf
Tempe Center for the Arts Studio, 700 W. Rio Salado
Parkway (in Rio Salato Park west of Mill Ave), Tempe, Arizona —
Performed by Childsplay Theatre after their 2-month, multi-state tour
in October and November, 2009. — Prokovief's musical
themes get a shiny new spin to accompany the
cautionary folk tale of Peter, his grandfather and his animal friends.
The show is a colorful cartoon-like, modern adaption of the original
tale, which reminds
young children of the struggle between man and animal, the importance
of friends and using courage when challenges arise. Man and various
animals cohabitate around Peter's grandfather's house, which is
adjacent to a large meadow, a pond and a dense forest. The story tells
of Peter's friends, Cat, Duck and Bird, and how an friendly but intense
hunter wants to stifle a pesky Wolf who bothers the group. Peter thinks
of placing the Wolf in a local zoo so he will be away from the animals
he haunts with his sly sophistication. The tale is told with puppets
and with actors who portray the fanciful animals with shimmering
appeal. — Preview

East
Highland
Avenue
(Camelback Road and
Goldwater Blvd), Scottsdale — Shown 5 times each day (10:30am ,
1:15, 4:00, 6:45, 9:30pm) — 2 hour drama film (Rated R) about Lev Tolstoy adapted from the novel The
Last
Station:
A Novel of Tolstoy's Last Year (1990) by Jay Parini. — After almost 50
years of marriage, the Countess Sofya,
Leo
Tolstoy’s
devoted
wife, passionate lover, muse and secretary, suddenly finds her
entire world turned
upside down. In the name of his newly created religion (Tolstoyan),
the
great
Russian
novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even
his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. After
she’s born him 13 children! When Sofya then discovers that
Tolstoy’s trusted disciple, Chertkov may have
secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights
to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own
family, she is consumed by righteous outrage. This is the last straw.
Using every bit of cunning, every trick of seduction in her
considerable arsenal, she fights fiercely for what she believes is
rightfully hers. Tolstoy leaves his home. Too ill to continue beyond
the tiny rail station at Astapovo, he believes that he is dying alone,
while over 100 reporters camp outside awaiting hourly reports on his
condition. — Nominated for 12 awards. For history, see The Last Days of Leo Tolstoy. See review 'The
Last
Station':
Mirren
excels as mercurial wife of author Tolstoy, The
Ariznoa
Republic.

Wed – 7
pm – The Debt
Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival, Harkins Camelview 5, Scottsdale — Movie, Drama, 100
minutes, Hebew with English Subtitles — *Guest Speaker: Dr.
Murray Henner — The DEBT is a
dramatic story of three young Mossad agents on a secret mission to
Berlin in the 1960’s to capture a notorious Nazi war criminal, the
Surgeon of Birkenau. Their assignment was to bring him to Israel to
stand trial. Mistakes of the agents while the Nazi was being held
allowed the prisoner to escape. Unable to face their mission’s failure
they lie to their superiors and return to Israel as national heroes.
Thirty years later, a man claiming to be the Surgeon of Birkenau
surfaces in the Ukraine. One
of the former agents must go back undercover to seek out the truth and
preserve their public image as heroes. On a deeper level, by examining
the psychology of the Mossad agents, THE DEBT is a look into the
learning process through which we face our own demons. PLUS: Short Film: A Polish Winter — An animated
film by Shane & Paula Sheils |
