In Search of a Midnight Kiss

November 23, 2008 7:00 PM

Shows at 7:00 and 8:45 pm

This ode to technology-fueled romance and indie filmmaking is a funny and bittersweet look at love, sex, and modern romance. As New Year's Eve approaches, Wilson (Scoot McNairy) is close to age 30 and far from where he wants to be in life. His best friend browbeats him into posting a personal ad for New Year's Eve on Craig's List, which leads to a date with Vivian (Sara Simmonds), a sexy, sarcastic blind-date-from-hell. The two embark on an unexpected, chaotic, and hilariously awkward journey through the streets of Los Angeles hoping to meet the "Right One" before midnight.

Director Alex Holdridge has created a film that lacks the sheen and shimmer of Hollywood romantic comedies, and the audience is the lucky beneficiary of this heartfelt gift.

November 21-25 screen room - Not Rated - 97 minutes

Virginia Premiere Theatre, the Kimball Theatre's resident professional company, presents a stage adaptation of O. Henry's classic holiday tale. Set in New York in the early 1900s, "The Gift of the Magi" is a story of love, devotion, and the true meaning of giving. A holiday treat for the entire family. "It has a quality so real and magical which this reviewer has not seen on any stage over the last 50 years..." Portfolio Weekly.
