Coming This Fall to
The Campus Theatre

The Executive Directors of the Campus Theatre, CommUnity Zone, and the Lewisburg Downtown Partnership are excited to introduce Live From Lewisburg Variety Show!

The Live From Lewisburg Variety Show will premiere on Sunday, November 21, at the Campus Theatre in Downtown Lewisburg, and will be a regular part of Lewisburg’s cultural life into the future. The show, performed with a live audience, and streamed globally online, is intended to be a showcase of the professional artistic talent in the Susquehanna River Valley.

For approximately three quarters of an hour, our host Gary Hardcastle, the rockabilly band, the theatre’s organist, our projectionists, and a crowd of guest players will guide our audience through vignettes, performances, and observations both funny and sincere.

The Live From Lewisburg Variety Show will feature music, dance, comedy, flashes of vaudeville, live television, the circus, and dust covered 8mm home movies. The Live From Lewisburg Variety Show will embrace the playful and nostalgic variety show format, and—against the patina of the historic Campus Theatre—pull the variety show into the 21st Century!

Like other variety shows before us—The Ed Sullivan Show, Prairie Home Companion, Laugh-In, and The Muppet Show, the Live From Lewisburg Variety Show will bring our audience all the things that have made variety shows popular over the years. This show will offer the opportunity to enjoy a live, intimate on stage performance as well as offering the show to an unlimited number of viewers by streaming the program online.

M.C. Escher Journey To Infinity

$12
M.C. ESCHER: JOURNEY TO INFINITY is the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). Equal parts history, psychology, and psychedelia, Robin Lutz’s entertaining, eye-opening portrait gives us the man through his own words and images: diary musings, excerpts from lectures, correspondence and more are voiced by British actor Stephen Fry, while Escher’s woodcuts, lithographs, and other print works appear in both original and playfully altered form. Two of his sons, George (92) and Jan (80), reminisce about their parents while musician Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills & Nash) talks about Escher’s rediscovery in the 1970s. The film looks at Escher’s legacy: one can see tributes to his work in movies, in fiction, on posters, on tattoos, and elsewhere throughout our culture; indeed, few fine artists of the 20th century can lay claim to such popular appeal.

Mary Lou Williams, The Lady Who Swings the Band

$10
MARY LOU WILLIAMS: THE LADY WHO SWINGS THE BAND
She was ahead of her time, a genius. During an era when Jazz was the nation's popular music, Mary Lou Williams was one of its greatest innovators. As both a pianist and composer, she was a font of daring and creativity who helped shape the sound of 20th century America.

Our Right To Gaze

$10
In this collection of six shorts, filmmakers gaze at themselves and their world, attempting to make sense of what they see reflected back. From gripping drama to heart-warming comedy, Our Right to Gaze: Black Film Identities features timely stories from Black artists that take us outside of the ordinary.

OTHER MUSIC

$12
Other Music was an influential and uncompromising New York City record store that was vital to the city’s early 2000s indie music scene. But when the store is forced to close its doors due to rent increases, the homogenization of urban culture, and the shift from CDs to downloadable and streaming music, a cultural landmark is lost.

WBCN and The American Revolution

$10
The amazing, untold story of the radical underground radio station WBCN-FM, set against the dazzling and profound social, political, and cultural changes that took place in Boston and nationally during the late-1960s and early-70s. Told through the actual sights, sounds, and stories of a compelling cast of characters who connected through the radio station, exploding music and countercultural scenes, militant anti-war activism, civil rights struggles, and the emerging women’s and LGBTQ-liberation movements.
