Film Screening of Searching – Q&A with Michelle La | More Details Biola School of Cinema & Media Arts – November 5 Biola University School of Cinema and Media Arts invite you to a special screening on Monday, November 5th of the critically acclaimed film SEARCHING, which won the Audience Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, followed by a Q&A with Actress Michelle La. SEARCHING is La’s first feature film role, where she plays missing daughter Margot Kim. The event starting at 7 pm will take place in Crowell Music Hall on the Biola University campus. SEARCHING tells the story of David Kim who becomes desperate when his 16-year-old daughter Margot disappears and an immediate police investigation leads nowhere. He soon decides to search the one place that no one else has — Margot’s laptop. Hoping to trace her digital footprints, David contacts her friends and looks at photos and videos for any possible clues to her whereabouts. Main Stage Presents: The Boys Next Door | More Details Biola’s Theatre 21 – November 9 – 18 Four men with intellectual disabilities live under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly “burned out” young social worker named Jack. Norman, who works in a doughnut shop and is unable to resist the lure of the sweet pastries, takes great pride in the huge bundle of keys that dangles from his waist; Lucien P. Smith has the mind of a five-year-old but imagines that he is able to read and comprehend the weighty books he lugs about; Arnold, the ringleader of the group, is a hyperactive, compulsive chatterer, who suffers from deep-seated insecurities and a persecution complex; while Barry, a brilliant schizophrenic who is devastated by the unfeeling rejection of his brutal father, fantasizes that he is a golf pro. Mingled with scenes from the daily lives of these four, where “little things” sometimes become momentous (and often very funny), are moments of great poignancy when, with touching effectiveness, we are reminded that people with disabilities, like the rest of us, want only to love and laugh and find some meaning and purpose in the brief time that they, like their more fortunate brothers, are allotted on this earth. Afflicted: Daughters of Salem | More Details La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts – November 15 Phantom Projects Theatre Group presents Afflicted: Daughters of Salem – The Untold Story of the Crucible at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts on Thursday, November 15th at 7:00 pm. The untold tale of the girls of Salem. 1691. Abigail Williams, Ann Putnam, Mercy Lewis, Mary Warren, and Betty Paris meet with the slave, Tituba, deep in the dark woods of Puritan New England at night. Denied all outlets for imagination, the girls unite in secret society. When the girls force Tituba to tell their fortunes, they ignite a crucible of events that burns out of control, leading straight to the infamous Salem Witch Trials. In award-winning playwright Laurie Brooks’ fictionalized look into peer politics and teenage rebellion, alliances will be formed and betrayed, promises made and broken, power taken and lost — and through secrets, gossip, fear, lies and accusations, these young girls ignite a crucible of dark events that will brand them amongst the most notorious teenagers in American history. Anka Sings Sinatra – His Songs, My Songs, My Way | More Details La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts – November 16 & 17 The Anka Sings Sinatra tour will honor a great artist who has influenced me more than anyone else throughout my career, Frank Sinatra.
