Thursday, March 11th at 10:00 am. Twelve Angry Men is a fascinating meditation on a certain misplaced faith in the US judicial system.  In this play by Reginald Rose, a jury of twelve men is serving on what appears to be a cut and dry case: a sixteen year old boy stands accused of murdering his father, and there are multiple witnesses who claim to have seen him do it.  While initially eleven of the twelve men are in favor of a guilty verdict, there is a lone dissenter – Juror #8 – who hopes to talk through the evidence they were presented to make sure no facet of the case has been left unexamined.  In the discussion that follows, more and more holes begin to emerge in a case which had initially been deemed air-tight, and more men are willing to consider the possibility of the boy’s innocence.

Thursday, March 11th at 7:00 pm. Let’s face it.  Many of us can’t wait to start traveling again and with widespread vaccine distribution just ahead, it’s possible to make vacation plans again. But the rules keep shifting and many questions remain. How easy will it be to obtain the required negative COVID test 72 hours before your return flight from abroad?  What will airline travel require?  What destinations will be best suited for your first post-COVID getaway?  Will summer travel be possible?  Diana Hechler, President of D. Tours Travel, will lay out concrete practical advice for how to make a realistic vacation plan.  Ms. Hechler founded D. Tours Travel in 1999 and specializes in high-end custom vacations.

Thursday, March 18th at 7:00 pm. As soon as movies could talk, they began to sing and dance—and musicals quickly became among the most popular film genres in America. Over the next nine decades, the movie musical would evolve to embrace every type of performance, from operatta to rock and soul, from tap to ballet, and every type of format, from Broadway hits to original creations from composers like Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Irving Berlin. This presentation will look at the fascinating history of this unique format, and include more than thirty excerpts, featuring artists like Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, the Nicholas Brothers, Busby Berkeley, Gene Kelly, and the Beatles.

Brian Rose is a Professor in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University’s College at Lincoln Center, where he has taught since 1982. He’s written several books on television history and cultural programming, and conducted more than a hundred Q&A’s with leading directors, actors, and writers for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and the Directors Guild of America.
