International Film Festival, Rare Baseball Films, on Tap
LONG ISLAND CULTURE: "Grease" coming to Landmark with a twist...or two.
Major Film Festival Coming to Belmore
The Long Island Film/TV Foundation and the Nassau County Film Commission host the Long Island International Film Expo from July 17-25, a wide international assortment of independent films. The entire event, to be held at the Bellmore Movies.
Cost: Screening passes are $10, Festival Day Passes are $25 and a Gold Pass-to see all festival films is $65. A friend can join you for free.
Harbor Musical Theater Company presents the musical "Grease" at the Landmark on Main Street, Port Washington, beginning July 20, with additional performances on July 21, 26, 27 and 28.
The production features a twist: adult actors play all the parts as the characters revisit their youth at the 25th Reunion of the Class of ‘59.
Oh: There's another twist: the show stars Kim Kaiman, the wife of North Hempstead's supervisor:
"I attended three different high schools in four years, so I remember the angst of wanting to make new friends and feeling the need to fit in," said Kaiman, who plays the show's iconic new girl, Sandy. "I also attended my own high school reunion this past year, although I won't mention how many years it's been! So I'm able to relate to this particular show on so many levels."
The production also features Old Bethpage resident Ken Young as Doody and Port Washington Patch editor Rich Jacques as Danny.
If you ever long for baseball's golden era, if such a thing ever really existed, you can see vintage newsreels of the national pastime that bring the sport's rich history to life.
