Big Fish screening precedes Shane stagings
Ahead of its stage adaptation of the 2003 fantasy drama, the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts will screen Tim Burton’s Big Fish as part of the Livingston Film Series on Sunday, February 16th. The free screening begins at 7pm.
Throughout his life Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor) has always been a man of big appetites, enormous passions and tall tales. In his later years, portrayed by five-time Best Actor Oscar nominee Albert Finney (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Erin Brockovich), he remains a huge mystery to his son, William (Billy Crudup). Now, to get to know the real man, Will begins piecing together a true picture of his father from flashbacks of his amazing adventures in this marvel of a movie.
The Shane’s stage rendition of Big Fish opens February 28th and runs weekends through March 22nd. Learn more on Page xxx.
