Calendar of Events

Join us in Abingdon to find out the fate of the queen in “Farewell, My Queen” showing Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 11 and 12 at 4 and 7:30 p.m. In Versailles in July 1789, there’s growing disquiet at the court of King Louis XVI. The people are defiant and the country is on the brink of revolution. Behind the scenes at the royal palaces emergency plans are being made. Although nobody believes that this spells the end of the established order everyone is talking of escape, including Queen Marie Antoinette and her entourage. One of Marie Antoinette’s ladies-in-waiting is Sidonie Laborde who, as the Queen’s reader, is a member of the monarch’s inner circle. Concerned that her escape might fail, the queen gives instructions for the girl to step into her carriage dressed in the queen’s clothes while the queen herself is to escape from the palace unseen at night. At first Sidonie is proud to have such an honor bestowed upon her – but she soon realizes that her mistress’ request has nothing to do with her affection for her.

“Cloud Atlas” will show Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 18 and 19 at 4 and 7:30 p.m. “Cloud Atlas” explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future.
