This week at Theatre N:

The Trip

Picture the movie Sideways, then set it in Britain and make it about a grand tour of restaurants rather than wineries.  "An acerbically witty, largely improvised ride through the English countryside."
Friday at 2, Saturday at 8, Sunday at 6:30.  $5 & $7.

Page One: Inside the New York Times

Documentary chronicling the inner workings of a changing New York Times at the juncture when the rise of internet news threatens to fell the newspaper industry.

A Boy Called Dad

One showing only, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.  Part of the "From Britain With Love" series. 
"A BOY CALLED DAD tells the story of Robbie – a 14 year old boy who has just become a father. Abandoned by his own dad Joe, Robbie snatches his baby son and goes on the run. As Joe joins the search for Robbie, they are each forced to face up to the past and what it really means to be a father."
Saturday at  11am, $5, followed by Q&A session.

Opera in Cinema: Aida

Sung in Italian with English subtitles.  Opera in four acts from the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Florence, Italy.  Aida is the only major opera set in Egypt, making it unique among the cannon of well-known operas.
Sunday at 2:30 (with 2 intermissions), $20.

As always, street parking is free and abundant on weekends (and weekdays after 6pm), or you can park in the Community parking lot across 11th street and get $1 validated parking at any time.  Beer (good beer too, like local microbrews.  And only $2-$3 a bottle), wine, and cheap popcorn and candy are available at the concession table inside the theatre, though get it as soon as you come in because the volunteers who man the table close up shop just before the previews start to roll.
