“A gritty and soulful directorial debut." - Michael Imperioli

Award-winning stage and film actress Angelica Torn, the only daughter of the late, great Oscar winner Geraldine Page and the legendary, Emmy Award-winning Rip Torn, hosts a film event on Monday, May 10th at the Coolidge Corner Theater.

Angelica Torn will be joined after the screening by her father, Rip Torn (Payday, Cross Creek, The Larry Sanders Show, Men in Black), her brother Tony (with whom she directed the film), and cast members Luke Zarzecki (Pirates of the Caribbean), Federico Castellucio (The Sopranos, Pink Panther 2), Gail Gerber (The Girls on the Beach, Girl Happy) for a lively Q&A with our audience following the screening.

Lucky Days is Angelica Torn’s award winning directorial debut, just finishing a successful film festival run, and opening theatrically in May of 2010. Torn gives a luminous performance as Virginia, a 30-year-old virgin who lives with her mother (Marilyn Sokol), her stripper sister (Tina Benko), and her four nieces, patiently waiting for an engagement ring from Vincent, her boyfriend of 18 years (Federico Castelluccio). After the reappearance of her childhood sweetheart (Luke Zarzecki), Virginia discovers painful truths about Vincent, her family, and her neighborhood that force her to choose between breaking free from everything she has ever known or sacrificing herself to the world that created her. The cast also includes Anne Jackson, Will Patton (Remember the Titans, Armageddon), Gail Gerber, and Rip Torn as Vincent’s father. Lucky Days is the last movie shot in Coney Island amusement park, capturing images that offer a final glimpse into this historic destination’s faded glory.

A portion of the proceeds from this screening will benefit the charity PAVE: (Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment).

Angelica Torn is currently on tour with Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playAUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. Its Boston run is at the Colonial Theatre from May 4 - 9.
