Buster Keaton's Silent Shorts | Newtown Theatre

120 N. State Street, Newtown, PA
Sunday, March 3, 3-5 pm

The historic Newtown Theatre will transport you back to the 1920s when it presents “Buster Keaton’s Silent Shorts” on Sunday, March 3 at 3 PM. This special event will feature four of Buster Keaton’s silent films accompanied by Not So Silent Cinema – a chamber music ensemble that performs live music to silent films. The four films being screened that day include “One Week” (1920), “Haunted House” (1921), “Cops” (1922), and “Electric House” (1922). Prior to the mid-1920s, all movies were silent, and dialogue was transmitted through mute gestures, mime and title cards, which contained a written indication of the plot or key dialogue. For added effect, silent films were commonly accompanied by musicians who provided a live score in the movie house. The Newtown Theatre, which showed its first film in 1906, was one of these places.

46 N Sugan Rd., New Hope, PA
March 1 at 7 pm, March 2 at 4 pm and March 3 at 1 pm

Immerse yourself in the spellbinding world of Roxey Ballet Company’s one-act ballet, Carmen. Choreographed by founder and visionary Mark Roxey, this contemporary masterpiece full of passion and betrayal tells the sensual tale of the fabled temptress of Seville. Based on Prosper Merimee’s novel, Carmen traces the dramatic downward spiral of its titular character and the tumultuous journey of Don José, as he is torn between the love of his wife, Michaela, and the irresistible allure of Carmen. As Carmen navigates her own romantic entanglements with admirers like the Toreador Escamillo, Captain Zuniga, and the soldier-smuggler Morales, the ballet weaves a vibrant tapestry of treachery, lust, and betrayal.
