SUMMARY:Rick Sebak | A Few Good Moments | Sold Out!
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Rick’s 50 Years in Public Broadcasting with This Touching Retrospective and Talk-Back | Sold Out! \n\n\n\nIn July of 1976\, during the nation’s Bicentennial\, RICK SEBAK began his career in public broadcasting with a station in South Carolina. It’s quite poetic\, therefore\, that we get to help Rick celebrate his half century in public broadcasting during the 250th birthday of the good old U.S. of A! Rick’s colorful career brought him from SC to his permanent home at Pittsburgh’s WQED\, and includes a myriad of unusual TV shows and slightly wacky documentaries that showcase the various aspects of modern life as well as Pittsburgh’s unexpected charms. Rick will showcase some of his favorite moments with a video scrapbook pulled from his extensive library along with an intimate talk-back and Q&A. Proceeds from this program benefit WQED and The Strand. \n\n\n\n\n\nAudiences enjoy Rick’s friendly narrative style and the unusual topics that he obviously loves. Rick’s extensive body of work includes working with the Engineers Society of Western PA on a local program called Invented\, Engineered & Pioneered in Pittsburgh\, about our region’s long history and continuing prominence in many aspects of engineering\, to a national show for PBS titled A Ride Along The Lincoln Highway about the history and charms of America’s first coast-to-coast highway. His topics have famously included flea markets\, Pittsburgh’s Strip District\, “Sandwiches That You Will Like”\, pre-Disney amusement parks\, sporting events unique to Da ‘Burgh\, and\, of course\, the fan-favorite\, Things That Aren’t There Anymore. \n\n\n\nA satire site posted a joke recently\, “Rick Sebak Retires Due Running Out of Things to Document”. We all know that could never happen. His penchant for finding unique and intriguing aspects of life in Pittsburgh and around the country is a deep well that will never be capped! \n\n\n\nAt The Strand\, we are thrilled to welcome this local legend of storytelling as he presents an intimate retrospective of his incredible career. Rick will be sharing some video clips from his seemingly endless supply of TV shows\, favorite stories from the road\, and offering a talk-back and Q&A. From Isaly’s Ice Cream Parlors to streetcars to Kennywood Park\, and tales of Pittsburgh’s industrial legacy\, you can expect a sentimental journey down memory lane with Rick reviewing and his illustrious career. \n\n\n\nProceeds from ticket sales benefit WQED and the charitable Strand Theater Initiative. \n\n\n\n\nRick Sebak | A Few Good Moments | Sold Out!Video Retrospective & Talk-Back SessionSunday ONLY!June 14\, 2:00PM \n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:The Patriot
DESCRIPTION:Starring Mel Gibson\, Heath Ledger\, and Joely Richardson \n\n\n\nPeaceful farmer Benjamin Martin is driven to lead the Colonial Militia during the American Revolution when a sadistic British officer murders his son. \n\n\n\nThe historical accuracy of the costumes and settings were overseen by the Smithsonian Institution. It’s the first time the Institution ever worked directly on the production of a movie. \n\n\n\nThe scene where Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) returns the dogs to General Cornwallis (Tom Wilkinson) may be based on a similar story told about General George Washington. During the Revolutionary War\, Washington reportedly noticed the terrier of a British General wandering the battlefield. He subsequently negotiated a cease-fire\, and both sides stopped firing until the dog was returned to the British commander. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhen teaching Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger how to shoot a muzzle-loading rifle\, technical advisor Mark Baker gave them the advice to “aim small\, miss small\,” meaning that if you aim at a man and miss\, you miss the man\, while if you aim at a button (for instance) and miss\, you still hit the man. Gibson liked this bit of advice so much\, he incorporated it into the movie\, just prior to the ambush scene. \n\n\n\nIn addition to Francis Marion\, a.k.a. The Swamp Fox\, Mel Gibson’s character is also based on the life of South Carolina militia leader General Andrew Pickens. Pickens had his estate torched\, and lost a son\, before he went back into action and led the militia forces at Cowpens. \n\n\n\nThe Patriot \n\n\n\nFriday\, May 15th\, 7:30PMSunday\, May 17th\, 2:00PM \n\n\n\n2000 | Rated ‘R’ | Under 17 not admitted without accompanying parent or guardian.

SUMMARY:Miracle
DESCRIPTION:Starring Kurt Russell \n\n\n\nBe inspired by the true story of Herb Brooks\, the player-turned-coach who led the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team to victory over the seemingly invincible Soviet squad. \n\n\n\nKurt Russell took a pay cut\, so the 800 – 1000 extras used as the fans at the hockey game could enjoy a full hot meal instead of a brown-bag lunch. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhile Al Michaels joined the film to recreate commentary for the games\, Gavin O’Connor decided to use the last ten seconds of Michaels’ original “Do you believe in miracles?” call in the film because he felt he couldn’t ask him to recreate the emotion he experienced at that moment. Thus\, they cleaned up the recording to make the transition to the authentic call as seamless as possible. \n\n\n\nHerb Brooks died in a car accident during principal photography of this film. A dedication is made for him before the ending credits. \n\n\n\nThis film is considered to be one of the most accurate depictions of true events\, including dialogue. According to the actual 1980 USA team\, the only inaccuracies in the film include Herb Brooks attending a Christmas party with the players and giving them nicknames. They also said that Brooks’ language had to be toned down immensely to maintain the film’s PG rating. \n\n\n\nMiracle \n\n\n\n\n\nFriday \, May 8\, 7:30pm \n\n\n\nSunday\, May 10\, 2:00pm \n\n\n\n2004 | Rated PG | 2 Hr\, 15 Min \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets
