"Star Wars" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" Films to Play at Cazenovia College Theater

From Cazenovia College:

The Catherine Cummings Theatre at Cazenovia college will present "Star Wars Episode 1" with a special presentation on digital animation, at 3 p.m., on Saturday, Feb. 9, and "Pirates of the Caribbean: at the World's End," at 3 p.m., on Saturday, Feb. 16.

Admission for each movie is $4.

"Star Wars, Episode 1" begins with a special presentation by Alyson Markell, who spent 11 years working for Industrial Light Magic, a division of Lucas Digital (George Lucas, creator of Star Wars).

Markell sculpted computer generated creatures for special effects blockbuster movies, including "Star Wars," "Pirates of the Caribbean, the Harry Potter series, "Jurassic Park" and others. Markell will explain how a creature is taken from the initial design through animation and then to the big screen.

Through a special agreement between Buyea's True Value and the Catherine Cummings Theatre, free popcorn will be offered at both movies.

The Catherine Cummings Theatre was named for Catherine Cummings Gorman, a 1925 graduate of Cazenovia College who loved theatre, in recognition of a $1 million gift to the College by the Gorman Foundation of Sherrill, N.Y.

This is great - I hope the theater shows more movies, I really think Cazenovia could support a decent second-run theater!
