SUMMARY:Sister Act - Flat Rock Playhouse - 10/2-10/25
DESCRIPTION:When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime\, she hides out in the last place anyone would look — a convent. Suddenly\, the sequins are swapped for habits\, and the nightclub turns into a nave. But when Deloris brings her unholy amount of soul to the choir loft\, heaven gets a whole new groove. \nSister Act is a holy-rolling\, soul-lifting celebration of sisterhood\, second chances\, and songs that raise the roof. As Deloris helps the sisters find their voices\, they just might change her heart in return. \nPart divine comedy\, part disco revival\, it’s proof that a little funk — and a lot of faith — can turn any sanctuary into a showstopper. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen | The Curious World of Hieronymus Bosch
DESCRIPTION:“Hieronymus Bosch – Visions of Genius” at the Het Noordbrabants Museum (February 13–May 8\, 2016) was the largest ever Bosch retrospective\, bringing 36 of his 44 surviving works together in Den Bosch. The exhibition took a radical approach\, offering research and conservation expertise in exchange for loans from the world’s best museums. Over 420\,000 people flocked to the exhibition to marvel at Bosch’s curious creations\, with opening hours extended to 1am to accommodate the phenomenal demand. \nAccompanied by expert insights from the exhibition’s curators and leading cultural critics\, the film delves into the life of the visionary artist to explore the inspiration behind his strange and haunting works. Contributors include maverick filmmaker and artist Peter Greenaway\, The Times’ Chief Art Critic Rachel Campbell-Johnston\, and Director of the Het Noordbrabants Museum Dr. Charles de Mooij. \n“The Curious World of Hieronymus Bosch” allows audiences to appreciate the detail of Bosch’s paintings like never before\, offering close-up views of the curiosities hidden within his brimming canvases\, from cannibalistic clergymen to three- headed birds.
