Sunday Espresso Matinee
Sundays from 11am-4pm
at The Little Theatre Auditorium

LTA and NL Roaming Cinema presents Sunday Espresso Matinees at Little Theatre Auditorium.
🎟 Tickets: $2-$10 Pay What You Can!

📽️ ☕ 🍸 Hang out, chat with friends, enjoy movies, espresso drinks and cocktails!
🎥🤩🍿 We are showing public domain or orphaned films.

🎬 These orphaned films show troubled times from the past and possibly relate to current issues too.
🌟11a ~ Another Nice Mess (1972, Bob Einstein) Stars Rich Little, Steve Martin (in 1st film role)
This messy political parody casts Agnew and Nixon as Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Little’s impression of Hardy is spot on, and it’s fun to see Steve Martin as a Hippie. The idea seems like a long SNL sketch (altho it came out years before the show existed). Runtime 1 hr 5 min

🎬12:05p ~ Meet John Doe (1943, Frank Capra) Stars Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.
A man threatens to jump off a building on Christmas eve to protest society’s problems. Is John Doe real? Does he help us find our best selves? Runtime 2 hr 2 min

🌟2:08p ~ Our Daily Bread (1934, King Vidor) Great Depression story about displaced workers; they start a commune, and work hard for their daily bread. In 2015, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation. Runtime 1 hr 11 min

Plus: short films

This activity is funded in part with grants from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council made possible by the voters of Minnesota, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
