The future of Cinema Under the Stars
The operation of
Cinema Under the Stars is contingent upon the success of a new method of operation. The old model was not sufficiently successful to continue the program. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor please visit the site for discussions.
*** Last film shown ***
October 16th, 2011 "Captain Blood" with Errol Flynn
Attendance last season was very poor, so much so, that I will no longer be presenting films, unless they are paid for in advance by sponsors who provide not only the funds, but also assistance with set-up and strike. So if anyone wishes to see these films continue, you need to step up to the plate to help make it happen.
Re-scheduling Notes:
Sadly, the debut performance of The Bucks County Gilbert & Sullivan Society with a showing of the film "Topsy Turvy" along with The Autumn Leaves Performance Festival was rained out again this year. But we are working on a new presentation for the spring, possibly in a Bucks County winery.
"American Graffiti" got rained out last year and so we will show it again this summer. June 9th is my birthday so we will have a big party. But also we are discussing having this film be part of a fund raising effort to help kids. Keep watch for details.
The Meadow Amphitheatre
A tour of
The Meadow Amphitheatre has been moved to it's own site. It is still under construction but is available for you to review.
We need to rebuild the stage and the field for this facility to remain an asset to the community.
We expect to rebuild the stage out of stone and regrade the field to improve drainage.
If you would like to be involved, please stop by the Park Office and let them know.
Please refer to
The Shakespearean Journal for the commentary & discussion regarding efforts to rebuild the stage.
The Bryn Athyn Orchestra
NOTE: This performance has been canceled by mutual consent.
For various reasons, we have decided to present this music
with an ensemble, doing this is not possible with
the current Bryn Athyn Orchestra
program design.
Therefore we will be gathering our musicians
and designing our own program to present this music in a concert setting.
Persons wishing to participate are welcome to inquire.
We are discussing presenting
a few of the numbers from the show
at a fund-raiser for the orchestra.
