    Science on Screen at the Coolidge Corner Theatre

    BROOKLINE, MA — The Coolidge Corner Theatre will present “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” Stanley Kramer’s 1967 film about interracial marriage, on Monday, March 2 at 7:00 pm as part of its popular Science on Screen series. Before the film, noted social psychologist Mahzarin Banaji, a pioneer in the study of unconscious bias, will give a talk on the science of prejudice.

    Made at a time when mixed-race marriage was still illegal in 16 states in America, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” aimed to debunk racial stereotypes. When young Joanna Drayton brings her new fiance home to San Francisco to meet her liberal parents, their progressive leanings are put to the test when they discover the man their daughter has chosen to settle down with is black. Sidney Poitier stars as the successful and respected Dr. John Wade Prentice, who challenges the preconceived notions of Mr. and Mrs. Drayton (Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn) during dinner one evening. The film earned Oscars for Hepburn and screenwriter William Rose.

    Music to save the Senator this weekend

    BALTIMORE, MD — Local musicians are coming together this weekend to save the Senator Theatre.

    Popular Baltimore-based bands The Payola Reserve, J Roddy Walston and The Business, and Wye Oak announced today their plans to hold a first-of-its kind live benefit concert to help the renowned Senator Theatre remain in operation. The concert is a timely response to actor David Arquette’s recent celebrity MySpace blog highlighting the endangered status of “Baltimore’s Premiere Showplace”.

    The Senator, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is converting to non-profit operation as an enhanced arts and entertainment facility; however the recent economic downturn and fixed overhead costs threaten to shutter the stunning art deco landmark theatre before the transition can be accomplished.

    Palace restoration fundraiser

    CANTON, OH —The Palace Theatre is holding a fundraiser this month so it can be refurbished and appreciated by more generations.

    The “atmospheric” theater — one of only a few dozen of its kind still in existence — remains as an elder resident of downtown’s Market Avenue N. It’s used for more than 300 arts and community programs. Canton Ballet performances. Movie nights. Concerts. Dance studio recitals. Broadway-style productions. Musical events. Fundraisers.

    But heavy traffic invariably leaves footprints, says Georgia Paxos, executive director, and the money left behind by patrons doesn’t pay for the maintenance needed to keep the entertainment venue pristine. That’s why the Canton Palace Theatre Association is putting on “An Affair to Remember” Feb. 28 at McKinley Grand Hotel —to help fund necessary repairs to the theater.
