Feature film “Perfectly Good Moment” will play at the 13th annual Fort Myers Film Festival on May 18 at 9 p.m.. Screenwriter/lead Actress Amanda Jane Stern will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening. This slow-burn thriller explores a sexually charged, toxic, age-gap relationship through a revenge lens. In the film Ruby and
Michael O’Brien and Tim Tubbs, familiar faces from Scarborough’s local theatre shows, make their first stage appearance together when they team up for My Fair Lady.
Despite a faltering start, the production at the Opera House managed to hit its stride midway through Act One, and a vocally impressive cast was able to tap into the built-in strengths of the Lerner and Loewe classic.
The musical revival of My Fair Lady, that came to the National Theatre this past holiday weekend, proves that this classic musical with lyrics and book by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe is an indestructible warhorse of a show that never grows stale. Director Bartlett Sher (with tour direction by Samantha Saltzman) has reinvigorated this masterpiece of superior integration of music, lyrics and book with some salient deconstruction but no amount of deconstruction can take away from the emotional pull of this material.
