Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows Jake's exploits as he risks everything - including his life - to tell his brothers' story. Often humorous but sometimes downright lethal, Brothers at War is a remarkable journey in which Jake embeds himself into four different combat units in Iraq. Unprecedented access to U.S. and Iraqi combat units takes him behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper 'hide sites' in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine-gun battles with the Iraqi Army. Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives, and children. Brothers at War is a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effect their service has on the loved ones they leave behind. This film screening is a benefit for Operation Gratitude. General Admission Seating. For handicapped seating in an area requiring no stairs to access, please call the Alex Theatre Box Office for information and purchase. Running time is approximately 1 hour 50 minutes with no intermission, and the film screening is suitable for ages 18 and older. Photo/Video recording by patrons is not allowed.

Music by Jule Styne. Comden and Green, who tackled the problems Hollywood players faced in the 1920's with the classic 'Singin' In The Rain', moved up a decade to the 1930's with the hysterically funny 1964 Broadway musical FADE OUT - FADE IN. Originally staring Carol Burnett as Hope Springfield, a chorus girl full of hope but not much talent, the show spoofs some of the great film stars of the era, such as Shirley Temple and Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson. The score is pure Jule Styne brass. http://www.alextheatre.org/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=263 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.alextheatre.org/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=268 Jeffrey Kahane, conductor & piano Laura Claycomb, soprano Derek Bermel A shout, a whisper, and a trace (west coast premiere) Mozart 'Chi'o mi scordi di te...non temer, amato bene' ('To forget you...do not fear, beloved') - recitative and aria for soprano, piano and orchestra, K.505 Mozart 'Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!'

'... my jaw dropped listening to and watching Thile play...The command he had of his instrument, from frenetically fast strumming to tasty quiet fills, it was just first-rate.' (NPR)'Why didn't someone think about mixing bluegrass, jazz and classical music together sooner? Chris Thile...is doing it with his new outfit, Punch Brothers, and the result is totally mind-blowing.'

The opening works also highlight our 'perfect' violins and the 'exemplary virtuosity and musicality...' of our winds (Resmusica.com, Paris). The penultimate concert of our 41st season concludes with Mozart's 41st Symphony, 'the greatest orchestral work of the world that preceded the French Revolution.' (Sir George Grove, 1906)Jeremy Denk is making arts lovers and intellectuals sit up and take notice. The New Yorker calls him a 'superb musician who writes with arresting sensitivity and wit.' He is gaining traction as much for his playing as his humorous and insightful observations in his popular blog, Think Denk.Part of the orchestral seriesSpecial NoteInterested in Four Seasons?

Lyrics and book by Alexandre Breffort. English lyrics and book by Julian More, David Heneker and Monty Norman. Set in Paris, this French and West End import revolves around Irma, a carefree Montmartre streetwalker whose life is turned upside down when she falls in love with Nestor le Fripé, a poor law student, who in order to keep her for himself, assumes the disguise of a rich older man. Although the film version unbelievably eliminated the songs, the original is much more fun, especially with the joyous, atmospheric score by Marguerite Monnot. http://www.alextheatre.org/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=261 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0500
