Standing Ovation: Oscar Winners Come to Cheraw's Theatre on the Green
The Cheraw Arts Commission will present a series of Academy Award-winning films on three Thursday evenings in May. Beginning May 8, "Movies in May" will be offered at the Theatre on the Green. Showtime is 7:00 until 9:00 p.m., and admission is free.
The first film, to be shown on Thursday, May 8, will be Sidney Poitier starring in "Lilies of the Field". Portraying an aimless ex-soldier on his way to California, Poitier's character, Homer Smith, stops at an isolated farm to get assistance when his car overheats in the desert. Smith soon finds himself building a chapel for the nuns who live there. This Oscar-winning film was produced in 1963. Rated G.
"Ghost", starring Whoopi Goldberg, will be the featured presentation on Thursday, May 22. When two lovers see their romance shattered after Sam (Patrick Swayze) is killed, pseudopsychic Oda Mae (Goldberg) steps in to warn Sam's girlfriend Molly (Demi Moore) that the killers are now after her. Rated PG-13.
Twenty-five years after its Broadway debut, "Dreamgirls" comes to the big screen. Showing on Thursday, May 29, this movie stars Beyoncé Knowles and Jennifer Hudson, who took home the golden statuette for playing strong but slighted Effie. Rated PG-13.
"Movies in May" is presented by the Cheraw Arts Commission. For more information, call 537-8422, extension 12.
