In the shadow of a bridge in Central Park, two octogenarians, one white and one black, meet regularly, determined to fight off all attempts to put them out to pasture. Lifetime radical and world-class kibitzer Nat Moyer's daughter is urging him into an old folk's home. He spends his afternoons spinning outrageous yarns that both intrigue and infuriate fellow octogenarian Midge Carter, a half-blind building superintendent who spends his days in the park hiding both from his past and from his disgruntled tenants. They share a Central Park bench, and with sly verbal sparring and indomitable spirits, these irritable heroes square off against drug dealers, enlightened children, posh tenants and, ultimately, time itself. It is a refreshing comedy that is hilarious, poignant and always enjoyable.
Playing February 26, 27, 28, March 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14. Fridays and Saturdays 8pm; Sundays 2pm

Public showing of „Glory‰ with discussion of G.A.R.
meeting hall history. „Glory‰ the film, spotlights the courageous
efforts of the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer
Infantry. This black regiment, led by the son of an abolitionist,
suffered numerous hardships and privation even before taking the
field of battle. Starring Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, and
Matthew Broderick, this film provides insight into the lives of the
men who built the G.A.R. Grand Army Hall in Chestertown; in fact,
research indicates that at least one of the members of Post #25
served with the 54th Massachusetts. (This film is rated „R‰)
A short presentation will accompany the film, introducing the
audience to the history of Post #25, the stabilization of the
meeting hall by Preservation Inc., and plans for restoring it to its
former important place in the fabric of Chestertown and Kent County.
This event is free and open to the public.
