    02/05/12- 02/07/12	Il Trittico - Opera on Film Camera 3 Il Trittico - Opera on Film Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 February 5-February 7, 2012 When Il trittico, or "the triptych," was first unveiled at the Metropolitan Opera, New York in 1918, it represented an operatic departure. Instead of a single evening-length narrative, Puccini offered three contrasting one-act works. The first panel, Il Tabarro (The Cloak), takes us to a barge on the banks of the Seine, where an unusually dark version of the eternal operatic triangle is played out with a gruesome and violent ending. Next comes the...

    05/21/10- Ongoing	The Midnight Show - Improv Comedy Camera 3 The Midnight Show - Improv Comedy Presented by ComedySportz at Camera 3 May 21, 2010 - Ongoing If you're looking for a completely improvised comedy show that's a little more R-rated, you've come to the right place. Just make sure you come at the right time... 11pm is "the new midnight." Unlike regular Comedysportz shows, The Midnight Show has no teams, no uniforms, and no Brown Bag Fouls... just long-form improvisation based on one or two suggestions provided by the audience. The show won't necessarily be "adult." In fact, it might be just plain...

    02/16/12- 02/18/12	Back to the Future (1985) - Cult Movie Series Camera 3 Back to the Future (1985) - Cult Movie Series Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 February 16-February 18, 2012 Unlikely best friends Marty McFly and Doc Emmett Brown--a school-skipping teenager and a crackpot inventor--find themselves whisked back to 1955 in a time machine stylishly created in the shape of a DeLorean. Things look bad for Marty when he accidentally gets in the way of his then-teenage parents falling in love, and so begins a race to get them together before his own existence becomes doomed. This series of screenings is co-sponsored by Psycho Donuts, Streetlight Records,...
    02/19/12- 02/21/12	Faust - Opera on Film Camera 3 Faust - Opera on Film Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 February 19-February 21, 2012 Gounod's Faust was the most successful opera of its time, reaching Covent Garden in 1863, four years after its Parisian premiere, and quickly becoming a favorite of Victorian audiences. In 2004 Faust returned to The Royal Opera's repertory with a flourish: David McVicar's brilliantly theatrical production, played out in the Paris of the Second Empire, has given its familiar melodies, grand ensembles and epic central struggle between good and evil a new lease of life.
    03/04/12- 03/06/12	Swan Lake - Ballet on Film Camera 3 Swan Lake - Ballet on Film Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 March 4-March 6, 2012 The battle between white and black swan unfolds with savage grace in Swan Lake. Tchaikovsky's haunting music traces the steps of prima ballerina Mariya Aleksandrova as she dances both Odette and Odile in this definitive production from the Bolshoi Ballet.
    03/15/12- 03/17/12	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) - Cult Movie Series Camera 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) - Cult Movie Series Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 March 15-March 17, 2012 Through contact with a mysterious substance called Ooze, four little turtles in the canalization of New York City mutate to giant turtles, who can speak, who can walk upright, and who love pizza. The wise rat Splinter becomes their mentor and educates them to be Ninja fighters who seek to prevent their bad, bad arch enemy Shredder from taking over the world. This series of screenings is co-sponsored by Psycho Donuts, Streetlight Records, and Time Tunnel Toys. Prizes and special...
    03/25/12- 03/27/12	La Boheme - Opera on Film Camera 3 La Boheme - Opera on Film Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 March 25-March 27, 2012 La Boheme--which talks of the fragile nature of happiness in a world of poverty, cold, and disease--is an example of the 19th century trend toward social realism in art. In Puccini's signature opera, however, the aesthetic of Verism--the Italian equivalent of the French Naturalism of Emile Zola--becomes more sentimental, and the brutality of social reality is depicted less crudely than elsewhere. Four young artists live out their everyday lives amid dreams and...
    04/08/12- 04/10/12	Romeo and Juliet - Ballet on Film Camera 3 Romeo and Juliet - Ballet on Film Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 April 8-April 10, 2012 Romeo and Juliet was Kenneth MacMillan's first full-evening ballet, and, from its premiere in 1965, has been one of The Royal Ballet's signature works, popular all over the world. The Royal Ballet has performed Romeo and Juliet well over 400 times, yet each performance is subtly different. Every pairing in the title roles brings fresh nuances to the young lovers' characters, while the wealth of supporting roles--from the exuberant trio of harlots in the town square...
    04/19/12- 04/21/12	Fight Club (1999) - Cult Movie Series Camera 3 Fight Club (1999) - Cult Movie Series Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 April 19-April 21, 2012 Edward Norton plays the nameless narrator--a corporate drone and insomniac completely dissatisfied with his life--who befriends the irrepressible force of nature that is soap salesman Tyler Durden. Together they start up a bare-knuckles, no-holds-barred fight club where young, equally bored urban professionals meet once a week and beat each other up. This series of screenings is co-sponsored by Psycho Donuts, Streetlight Records, and Time Tunnel Toys. Prizes and special guests...
    04/29/12- 05/01/12	Rigoletto - Opera on Film Camera 3 Rigoletto - Opera on Film Presented by Camera Cinemas at Camera 3 April 29-May 1, 2012 A classic of opera, Verdi's famous score is loved for its melody and its drama. David McVicar's immensely popular production, in period costume and with music conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, brings the 15th century court of Mantua alive: its womanizing Duke, the court jester Rigoletto bent on revenge, and his daughter Gilda, who the Duke loves but still destroys. Based on Le Roi s'amuse, Victor Hugo's controversial play, Verdi's sexually charged 1851 tragedy was...
