Winter's Bone
Donald Oat Theater, 60 Broadway, Norwich CT
Presented by the Norwich Community Cinema.
Film is based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell. Seventeen-year-old Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence) sets out to track down her father, who put their house up for his bail bond and then disappeared. If she fails, Ree and her family will be turned out into the Ozark woods. Challenging her outlaw kin's code of silence and risking her life, Ree hacks through the lies, evasions and threats offered up by her relatives and begins to piece together the truth. With thrilling tension, Winter's Bone depicts an archetypal rite of passage from adolescence to adulthood. Only this time, the young warrior is a girl. As our heroine braves immoveable obstacles, she redefines the notion of family loyalty and, in the process, discovers her own power. The spare precision of Debra Granik's direction is effortlessly profound. Stunningly genuine performances and exquisite visual details capture the textures and rhythms of a world where the mythic and the naturalistic intermingle. Donation: $7
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Kevin Breznahan, Dale Dickey, Garret Dillahunt, Shelley Waggener, Lauren Sweetser. Awards: Grand Jury Prize, Sundance; Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, Sundance

On Golden Pond
Windham Theatre Guild Burton Leavitt Theatre, Willimantic CT
Before the film version starring Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn, there was the Tony Award winning play. This simple tale of the Thayer family summer centers around the bickering but loving relationship between Ethel and Norman Thayer, an elderly couple spending their 48th summer at their lake home. When their independent, insecure daughter Chelsea and her new boyfriend, Bill come for Norman's 80th birthday, they ask the couple to look after Bill's teenage son. Norman becomes closer to Billy than he ever did with his daughter, sparking her long-repressed resentment. There are many things skimming along the surface of Golden Pond, including the presence of loons--who represent all things wonderful about their summer house and their life. Come and be a part of one of the great plays of the American stage!
For more information please contact the WTG at windhamtheatre@aol.com. Directed by: Barry Schreier (Wait Until Dark, February 2009). Stage Managed by: Marie Saddlemire. Produced by: Robin Rice.
