FALL MUSICAL
When Hollywood offers New York novelist Stine the opportunity to adapt his
books into a film, he packs up and moves to the home of perennial sunshine,
palm trees, and stars. City of Angels moves between the beautiful Technicolor
world of Hollywood and Stine’s glamorous film noir-in-progress of the same
title. While Stine’s movie plays out in black and white, Stine finds
the dangerous temptations of the world of Los Angeles —
the distraction of women, the lure of fame, and the artistic
compromises
being
made right and left — all too colorful.

THE OUTCASTS OF POKER FLAT
In the wilds of California’s snowy mountains, six characters from different worlds
are thrown together and face a common danger. How they respond reveals their
true natures. Having experienced rejection and betrayal, the members of this
isolated band of travelers form friendships that provide love and acceptance. This
is one of the classic tales that first brought national acclaim for author Bret Harte.
It has been the basis of at least five films and one play. Andrew Earle
Simpson’s contemporary classical score draws on American folk and
country music as well as church and parlor songs.
