Westbank Story and Offside
Little Theatre
Tickets: $5
Westbank Story is set in the fast-paced, fast-food world of competing falafel stands on the West Bank. David, an Israeli soldier, falls in love with the beautiful Palestinian cashier, Fatima, despite the animosity between their families’ dueling restaurants.
Can the couple’s love withstand a 2,000-year-old conflict and their families’ desire to control the future of the chick pea in the Middle East? Find out in the 21-minute musical/comedy directed by Ari Sandel. This film is not rated.
Offside tells the story of six Iranian girls who disguise themselves as boys in order to enter Tehran’s Azadi Stadium to watch the 2006 World Cup Asian zone qualifier between Iran and Bahrain. The disguises are necessary as Iran bans all women from men’s sporting events. However, the six girls are discovered and arrested one by one. Offside was shot in Iran but its screening was banned in the Islamic Republic. The 93-minute comedy/drama, directed by Jafar Panahi, is rated PG.

Spirit & The Blues
Eric Bibb & The Campbell Brothers
Performance Hall
Tickets: $12 adults, $10 students and seniors
In Eric Bibb's hands, the blues becomes sustaining, moving closer to the spiritual uplift of gospel — it's about healing, song after song. Eric Bibb has an ability to meld traditional blues styles with more contemporary sounds. As one critic put it, "Eric's singing and versatile guitar playing fuses a variety of genres to become a New World Blues."
. . .The Campbell Brothers present Sacred Steel: African-American gospel music with electric steel guitar and vocal. This tradition emerges from the House of God Church, Keith Dominion, where it has been an integral part of worship and an American tradition for more than 60 years. As the music moves from sanctuary to concert hall — secular audiences are now able to appreciate a performance both devoted and rocking.
