Sunset Boulevard was a 1950 American film noir nominated for eleven Academy Awards, starring Gloria Swanson and directed by Cecil B. DeMille. Roger Ebert hailed Sunset Boulevard as "the best drama ever made about the movies." The Tony Award-winning stage production, a visually spectacular tale featuring breathtaking music by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber, weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by Tinseltown with the advent of "talkies." Her glamour has faded in all but her mind. When she meets the struggling Hollywood screenwriter Joe Gillis through dramatic circumstances, their subsequent passionate and volatile
relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic con-clusion. Please select from baked salmon or roasted tur-
key breast at time of registration.
Date: Wed., January 30 Cost: $80—Members; $96—Non-Members Code: 305111.A2 Time: 10AM-5PM

Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) are a devoted couple, but decades of marriage have left Kay wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a renowned couple's specialist (Steve Carell) in the small town of Great Hope Springs, she attempts to persuade her skeptical husband, a steadfast man of routine, to get on a plane for a week of marriage therapy. Just convincing the stubborn Arnold to go on the retreat is hard enough - the real challenge for both of them comes as they shed their bed-room hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place. Assorted pizzas will be served from Rosati’s. No menu selection needed.
