The Secret Life of
Walter Mitty
Friday & Saturday Only!
April 18 & 19
Starring Ben Stiller & Kristen
Wiig
A day-dreamer (Stiller) escapes
his anonymous life by
disappearing into a world of
fantasies filled with heroism,
romance and action. But when his
job - along with that of his
co-worker - are threatened, he
takes action in the real world;
embarking on a global journey
that turns into an adventure
more extraordinary than anything
he could have ever imagined.
Producer Samuel Goldwyn Jr.,
whose father, the famed Samuel
Goldwyn, produced The Secret
Life of Walter Mitty (1947)
with Danny Kaye in 1947,
conceived the idea of doing a
remake in 1994 with Jim Carrey
in mind for the title role. Walt
Disney Pictures was enthusiastic
to purchase the remake rights,
but Goldwyn instead chose New
Line Cinema, who held a positive
working relationship with Carrey
on Dumb & Dumber (1994)
and The Mask (1994).
The studio bought the rights in
1995 with the understanding that
The Samuel Goldwyn Company would
be involved in creative
decisions. Babaloo Mandel and
Lowell Ganz (writers of
Parenthood '89 and A
League of Their Own '92
turned in the first draft of the
screenplay in July 1997. Ron
Howard entered negotiations to
direct as well as cover
producing duties with Brian
Grazer and Imagine
Entertainment. But each
eventually left the project in
favor of Edtv (1999),
and The Secret Life of
Walter Mitty (2013)
languished in development heck
over the challenges of
reimagning the classic original,
using a contemporary storyline.
If you missed Walter Mitty
in the cineplexes, this
delightful fantasy is chock full
of visual wizardry and sound
effects that The Strand's 25'
screen, digital HD projector and
45 speaker surround-sound was
built for.

What Would Lucy Do?
Friday & Saturday Only!
Apr 25 & 26
Outrageous 1-Woman
Comedy with Award-Winning
Lucille Ball Impressionist
Suzanne LaRusch
Celebrate 100 Years of The
Strand Theater All Year Long!
The 1940s/50s This
hilarious comedy arrives at The
Strand, live onstage, by
award-winning Lucille Ball
impressionist Suzanne LaRusch!
Suzanne is a Hollywood-based
actress-impressionist who
recreates the magic of the
world's most beloved comedienne,
Lucille Ball.
LaRusch
first played Lucy Ricardo on
special assignment for Universal
Studios and quickly came to the
attention of Lucie and Desi
Arnaz Jr. who authorized her to
portray their mother's work in
venues across the country.
Suzanne has entertained
for former President George
Bush, was a surprise guest for
Roseanne at the 1997 Women
in Film Lucy Awards,
appeared on such national
television programs The
Better Half with Dick
Clark, The View with
Barbara Walters, and hosted 5
shows on HSN (Home Shopping
Network) selling out of every “I
Love Lucy” product offered.
Suzanne appeared on ABC on their
highly rated reality show
The Next Best Thing — a
national competition for the
greatest celebrity impersonator.
Suzanne wrote and
performed all original material
for the show. The result?
America voted her the Number One
Female Celebrity impressionist
in the country!
"You're tremendous! It's a
little eerie. We'll talk soon,
Mom." —Lucie Arnaz
"Suzanne's likeness to
Lucille is uncanny. She has
caught all her mannerisms, voice
and even her appearance. It's
kind of spooky!"
—Madelyn Paugh Davis, co-creator
and writer of "I Love Lucy"

Sunday Only!
Apr 27
Celebrate 100 Years of The
Strand Theater All Year Long!
The 1940s
The #2 film on the American Film
Institute's Top 100 movies of
all time returns to The Strand
for a special Centennial year
engagement!
Set in
unoccupied Africa during the
early days of World War II: An
American expatriate (Humphrey
Bogart) meets a former lover
Ingrid Bergman), with unforeseen
complications.
The
sizzling chemistry between
Bogart and Bergman is
unmistakeable and the two
Hollywood icons will forever be
identified for their roles in
this timeless classic.
Many of the actors who played
the Nazis were in fact German
Jews who had escaped from Nazi
Germany. In the famous
scene where the "Marseillaise"
is sung over the German song
"Watch on the Rhine", many of
the extras had real tears in
their eyes; a large number of
them were actual refugees from
Nazi persecution in Germany and
elsewhere in Europe and were
overcome by the emotions the
scene brought out.
Rick
never says "Play it again, Sam."
He says: "You played it for her,
you can play it for me. If she
can take it, I can take it so
Play it!". Ilsa says "Play it,
Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By"'.
The incorrect line has become
the basis for spoofs in movies
such as A Night in
Casablanca (1946) and
Play It Again, Sam (1972).

Starring Pittsburgh's Own The

and Scott Anderson
return to The Strand with their

The following year, they
presented The Beatles and

as well as latter-day music

reflects on it all in this
incredible, original concert
event!
