Suspenseful, labyrinthine, and brilliantly cast, The Maltese Falcon is one of the most influential noirs, as well as a showcase for Humphrey Bogart at his finest.” The film received three nominations at the 14th Academy Awards: Best Picture, Sydney Greenstreet for Best Supporting Actor, and John Huston for Best Adapted Screenplay.</p><p>Host: Eric Webster/Shanan Custer</p><p><strong>June 24: "The Thing From Another World” – 1951<br></strong>Considered to be one of the best films of 1951 and one of the great science fiction films of the 1950s. The US Library of Congress deemed the film “culturally significant” and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. Time Magazine named it “the greatest 1950s sci-fi movie.”</p><p>Host: Tim Uren</p><p><strong>July 8: “Yojimbo” – 1961<br></strong>Akira Kurosawa’s “Yojimbo” marks an early high water mark in what would become a trend of cross-cultural inspiration in cinema. Kurosawa drew his inspiration from Dashiell Hammett’s detective novels (such as “The Maltese Falcon,” also featured in Classic Movie Club), as well as the western films of John Ford. Yojimbo would itself inspire its own influential western remake, “A Fistful of Dollars,” and Kurosawa’s films would be foundational for a young George Lucas as he began work on his opus, “Star Wars.”</p><p>Host: Aaron Fiskradatz </p><p><strong>July 15: “Way Out West” – Laurel and Hardy<br></strong>“Way Out West” is a superb film, distinguished by a magnificent score, excellent production values, a nimble pace, a great supporting cast, and most of all, the wonderful comedy of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, instrumental and important pioneers of American comedy.</p><p>Host: Joshua English Scrimshaw</p><p><strong>July 22: “Dracula” – 1931<br></strong>An American “pre-Code” horror film. Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula, a vampire who emigrates from Transylvania to England and preys upon the blood of living victims, including a young man’s fiancé. Dracula was not only a commercial and critical success when released, it has had a notable influence on popular culture, and Lugosi’s portrayal of Dracula established the character as a cultural icon, as well as the archetypal vampire in later works of fiction. In 2000, the film was selected but the US Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”</p><p>Host: Eric Webster/Shanan Custer </p>*NEW* Grown Up & Me - Owl Always Love You Painting (youth 6+/adult 16+ pair)http://isd12.ce.eleyo.com/course/4959/summer-2024—1/new-grown-up-me-owl-always-love-you-painting-youth-6-adult-16-pair2024-03-25T08:00:00-05:00<p><strong>Youth 6+ and Adult 16+ pair</strong></p><p>Join us for a fun-filled morning as we create an acrylic painting on two 8" x 10” canvases.

Improvisation, however, is a truly adaptable art form that is proven to be an effective tool onstage and off for many different age groups and levels of experience. In other words, while it can be highly entertaining, improvisation is much more than "being funny." The tenets of improvisation - namely saying yes or accepting ideas without judgement, creating a safe atmosphere, and listening - have made this form important to actors and non-actors alike. For actors, improvisation is crucial to being in the moment and learning to trust your instincts onstage, particularly in auditions. For non-actors, improvisation is an effective tool for sharpening focus, evolving creative ideas, improving communication skills and teamwork. Students who participate in improvisation greatly improve their listening skills, focus, and school work.
