BECOME A REG LENNA CIVIC CENTER MEMBER
Please donate to the REG LENNA CIVIC CENTER
Your generous donation and commitment to the Civic Center will allow us to continue its legacy as a cultural and historical treasure in our community, an exquisite place where people come together to enjoy outstanding productions, community events and educational activities.
We are aware of the trust you place in us to be good stewards of a theater that has welcomed world renowned talent from the likes of the Smothers Brothers, Ellen Degeneres and Tom Chapin to the aspiring tiny ballerinas of the Chautauqua Regional Youth Ballet.
From the first show in 1923 to the present, this old Grande Dame has seen many changes. Crossing her boards were Vaudeville actors, concert musicians, actors,
government leaders and community graduates. As years went by there were talent
competitions, cooking shows and movies available to the public. After time took its
toll, the community came together to actuate a dramatic renovation completed in
in 1990. From that time the Reg Lenna Civic Center has continued to be a place
where our community gathers to laugh, cry, investigate and experience the world
around us. Thanks to the support of people like you, she will continue to present
enriching opportunities for years to come.
Thank you for your donation

The Band's Visit
Tuesday, May 13th at 7:30PM and Saturday, May 17th at 8:00PM
Synopsis:
Israeli filmmaker Eran Kolirin’s debut feature, THE BAND’S VISIT, is a subtle, heartfelt, and humane work that goes a long way toward dissolving the incredibly complex cultural divide that continues to plague the Middle East. When the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra flies from Egypt to Israel to perform at the opening of an Arab culture center, they are left stranded at the airport. Their leader, Tewfiq (Sasson Gabai), orders the handsome violinist, Khaled (Saleh Bakri), to solve their predicament, but it turns out that he’s gotten the wrong information. By that time, it’s too late. All eight members are left standing alone in a quiet desert town far from their intended destination with no way to get where they need to go. Tired, hungry, and confused, they find shelter at a restaurant run by the pretty but brash Dina (Ronit Elkabetz). It’s clear that Dina is bored with her lonely life, so she talks Tewfiq into letting the band stay over for the night: he and Khaled will stay with her, and the others will be put up at the home of Itzik (Rubi Moscovich). Over the course of the night, Tewfiq and Dina bond, Khaled helps a hapless local discover his inner Romeo, and the other band members find themselves caught up in a domestic situation that is less than perfect. Kolirin perfectly navigates his film’s slice-of-life tone, blending comedy and drama and poignancy without ever succumbing to one completely. In the wrong hands, this material could turn into a quirk-fest that parodies everyday life. Yet under Kolirin’s assured command, it becomes something that feels like life itself. THE BAND’S VISIT is funny, lonely, inspiring, sad, and beautiful all at once.
