February 4&5
Film: Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale
PG 2 hours, 3 minutes
Wednesday, 7:00pm, Thursday, 1:00pm
A 2025 historical drama film directed by Simon Curtis from a screenplay by Julian Fellowes. It is the sequel to Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) and the third and final film in the Downton Abbey franchise. Many of the original franchise's cast members, who also appeared in the previous two films, return. Paul Giamatti and Dominic West reprise their roles as Harold Levinson from the television series and Guy Dexter from the previous film, respectively, while Joely Richardson, Alessandro Nivola, Simon Russell Beale and Arty Froushan join the cast. In 1930 London, Lord and Lady Grantham, and their daughter and son-in-law, Edith and Bertie Pelham (aka Lord and Lady Hexham), attend a play starring Guy Dexter and Noël Coward, who is also the playwright. Backstage, they meet with Dexter, Coward, and former Downton Abbey butler Thomas Barrow, now Dexter's personal assistant and partner-lover. The next day, the Crawley family, including eldest daughter Mary, attend a ball given by Bertie's cousin Lady Petersfield. When news suddenly breaks about Mary's divorce from her estranged husband, Henry Talbot, Lady Petersfield insists that Mary leave before her guests of honour, Prince Arthur of Connaught, and his wife arrive.

Live Theatre: Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express
Adapted for the stage by Ken Ludgwid
On the Stanley Subaru Stage
Directed by Brent Hutchins
Friday & Saturday, 7:00pm, Sunday, 2:00pm
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

3D Film: Jurassic World: Rebirth
PG-13 2hour 13 minutes
7:00pm
Five years after the catastrophic global spread of dinosaurs, Earth's climate has turned against its prehistoric inhabitants. Most have perished; the survivors cluster in an equatorial refuge near the original Jurassic Park research facility on Île Saint-Hubert. Covert operations expert Zora Bennett assembles a team to extract DNA from the world's three largest dinosaurs, a pharmaceutical breakthrough with the potential to cure heart disease. Accompanying her are Duncan Kincaid, her trusted logistics specialist, and Dr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist and former student of Alan Grant. Their mission intersects with the Delgado family, whose boat capsized in dinosaur-infested waters, stranding them on the island. Together, both groups confront not only the prehistoric predators that stalk the terrain but a sinister, long-hidden discovery buried within the facility's ruins. The expedition quickly transforms from a scientific endeavor into a fight for survival against creatures that have mutated and evolved in ways no one anticipated.

Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Maine presents: Princess Ida
On the Stanley Subaru Stage
Fridays, 7:00pm, Saturdays & Sundays, 2:00pm
Princess Ida has rejected the rule of men, and the marriage contract forced upon her in infancy. But when the time comes to fulfill it, her defiance may spark a war. When Ida fails to appear for the long-promised wedding, her determined suitor, Hilarion, disguises himself and his companions as women and infiltrates Castle Adamant, a university devoted entirely to women. Once their deception is exposed, Ida and her peers face an impossible choice: should she surrender her ideals and accept Hilarion’s devotion, or stand firm and risk war between two stubborn kings—and the destruction of the university she loves?

Film:Seasons of Maine
A fundraiser for Cure Duchenne
a visual documentary, that immerses the viewer in breathtaking aerial scenery, across, (primarily), Downeast Maine, as it transitions through our dramatic seasons. Experience our beautiful surroundings as the eagles do. Taking 2 years to film, local 21 year-old amateur filmmaker, Evan Procko, faced the challenges of his lifelong disability, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, to create this film. Confined to his power chair and left with only the use of his hands, Evan’s artistic creativity will awaken your spirit of adventure, and remind you that anything is possible.
All proceeds from ticket sales and donations will benefit research for a cure of Duchenne, the deadliest form of muscular dystrophy, affecting 1 in 3500 boys, worldwide.
Run Time: 48 minutes
