Thursday Film Series
When the transition is being made from silent films to `talkies’, everyone has trouble adapting. Don and Lina have been cast repeatedly as a romantic couple, but when their latest film is remade into a musical, only Don has the voice for the new singing part. After a lot of practise with a diction coach, Lina still sounds terrible, and Kathy, a bright young aspiring actress, is hired to record over her voice.
Be sure to come in your dancing shoes, rain slickers or your best tux and tails. We’re having a COSTUME CONTEST with prizes to open this award winning musical.
