The Mother*er with the Hat: Trustus Theatre
February 8-23, 2013 INCLUDING February 14, 2013
Struggles
with addiction, friendship, love and the challenges of adulthood are at
the center of the story. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of
prison and trying to stay clean. He's also still in love with his
coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. Ralph D. is Jackie's
too-smooth, slightly slippery sponsor. He's married to the bitter and
disaffected Victoria, who, by the way, has the hots for Jackie. And then
there's Julio, Jackie's cousin … a stand-up, "stand by me" kind of guy.
However, when Jackie comes home with flowers to find a strange man’s
hat by his and Veronica’s bed, these characters careen forward as Jackie
goes in search of the hat’s owner. What follows is an examination of
trust, lust, loyalty, and true love. Find out about show times and
ticket information here!
A MATTER OF SIZE- Movie at the Nick Part of the Jewish Film Festival
FEBRUARY 11-14 MONDAY - THURSDAYMONDAY 2/11 - 6:00
THURSDAY 2/14 - 8:30
A Matter of Size is an Israeli comedy (yes, comedy!) like nothing you've seen before, a hilarious and heart-warming tale about about a coming out of a different kind: four overweight guys who learn to love themselves through the Japanese sport of sumo wrestling!
Herzl (Itzik Cohen) has been struggling with his weight ever since he was young, and his overbearing mother made it no easier on him. His friends Aharon (Dvir Benedek) and Gidi (Alon Dahan) struggle with the issue of weight in their personal lives as well; from fear of losing a spouse to a "thinner" man, to coming out as a gay bear.
