Your Not-For-Profit Independent Theatre
Can't Stop the SERENITY 09Two shows! Fri & Sat, June 19-20 @ midnite Featuring Dr. Horrible’s Sing A Long Blog! $15 advance / $20 at the door The New England Browncoats are once again hosting the 4th annual special charity screenings of SERENITY to benefit Equality Now. In addition to bringing the Sci-Fi epic back to the big screen, these shows will also feature the Boston big screen premiere of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Joss Whedon's award-winning internet musical sensation. Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) plays the title character, who video-blogs about his twin goals to join the Evil League of Evil and to woo the fair Penny (Felicia Day, of the Web series The Guild), a woman he met at the local Laundromat. Dr. Horrible is foiled on both fronts, however, by his arch nemesis, the self-absorbed superhero Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion, Firefly). With similar screenings are happening all around the globe each year, all told this worldwide event has collected over $200,000 for this worthy cause. Founded in 1992, Equality Now is an organization dedicated to the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. The New England Browncoats will also be collecting non-perishable food items for the Greater Boston Food Bank at each screening. Anyone donating to this cause at the screening will be entered into a drawing to win prizes including actual props used the film. Plus, there'll be contests and fun outside the theatre before the screening (weather permitting). |
