THE UPSIDE

Playing: APR 5 - 11
(No shows Sunday or Monday)


7:00 pm

When Park Avenue billionaire Phillip Lacasse (Bryan Cranston) is paralyzed after a hang-gliding accident, he hires unqualified ex-con Dell Scott (Kevin Hart) as his caretaker. Phil, who recently lost his wife to cancer, has lost the will to live and Dell is the best candidate to carry out the Do Not Resuscitate edict he’s asked for, should his health deteriorate.

Although they come from two completely different worlds and backgrounds, Phil and Dell form an unlikely friendship, with Phil introducing Dell to high society with opera, fast cars and art and giving him stable financial footing with decent paychecks, while Dell shares with his employer the music of Aretha Franklin, and the tastiness of hot dogs and soft serve ice cream.

Based on the hit French movie The Intouchables.


GLASS

Playing: APR 5 - 11
(No shows Sunday or Monday)


9:15 pm

David Dunn (Bruce Willis) and his son Joseph (Spencer Treat Clark) are running a security business by day, selling surveillance equipment. By night, David dons a hood and walks the streets, believing he’s the vigilante the city needs. When David gets a tip on four missing chearleaders, it leads him to Kevin Wendell Crumb, better known as The Beast (James McAvoy).

While David is trying to apprehend Kevin, both are caught and because David is wanted for his vigilantism, both are sent to a psychiatric facility. There, they meet fellow patient Elijah Price a.k.a. Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson). During a session with all three, psychiatrist Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) tries to convince them that they don’t actually have superpowers.
