The Boss Baby (PG) 2017

Downstairs Theater 

DreamWorks Animation and the director of Madagascar invite you to meet a most unusual baby. He wears a suit, speaks with the voice and wit of Alec Baldwin, and stars in the animated comedy, DreamWorks’ The Boss Baby. The Boss Baby is a hilariously universal story about how a new baby’s arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7 year old named Tim. With a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family, DreamWorks‘ The Boss Baby is an authentic and broadly appealing original comedy for all ages.

John Patrick Shanley Festival

Upstairs Theater

3.20 – Screening of “Doubt”
The festival begins with a screening of the acclaimed film adaptation of Shanley’s Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. This powerful drama explores themes of faith, moral certainty, and the complexities of truth, followed by an in-house discussion on the film’s themes led by the NFAC team. Tickets.

3.21 – “Moonstruck” Screening + Q&A with Shanley
Day two features Shanley’s Academy Award-winning screenplay “Moonstruck,” starring Cher and Nicolas Cage. This beloved romantic comedy captures the heart of Italian-American culture in New York City. The evening includes authentic cannolis from the same bakery featured in the film and culminates with an intimate talkback session with Shanley himself. Tickets.

3.22 – Staged Reading: “Five Steps to Transcendence”
The festival concludes with a special staged reading of new work directed by Shanley and co-produced by Brave New Works. “Five Steps to Transcendence” presents five short stories about men and women that culminate in moments of epiphany – by turns tragic, funny, and deeply romantic. Following the 90-minute reading, Shanley and the cast will participate in a talkback, offering insights into the theatrical creative process. Tickets.

Starting March 22nd • 5:30PM
