We’ll Get Back To You

April 4-19

Presented by Crooked Path Theatre

Come on out to The James Theater to catch a performance this weekend.

Bestselling author Rob Bell’s new play begins with this disruptive presence, and gradually begins to reveal what happens when people own every square inch of their lives.

At turns hysterically funny, deeply moving, and ultimately subversive, this is a play for anyone who has had a job in the industrialized world and wonders if maybe the whole system needs a change. Directed by Tony Award nominee Kristin Hanggi (Rock of Ages).

The Picture Show family and children’s series is an ongoing series featuring the best in all ages programming, selected from the past century of cinema. Parents can revel in beloved classics and kids make new discoveries. On weekends, each film is preceded by a media literacy lesson to help children understand the images and sounds they encounter every day.
