James Armstrong Theater at Torrance Cultural Arts Center (Torrance, CA)

Come aboard Show Boat at this Cinema Series screening of the San Francisco Opera’s grand performance of the American musical masterpiece, which Chicago Classical Review called a “triumph,” featuring Tony Award winners Bill Irwin (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and Harriet Harris (Thoroughly Modern Millie). The San Francisco Opera captured its critically acclaimed production in a stunning multi-camera, high-definition film that will put you at the show. As the Cotton Blossom riverboat travels the Mississippi, a troupe of riverboat performers — Julie, Joe, Queenie, Magnolia and Ravenal — navigate the ups and downs of show business, love and loss in a time overshadowed by racial inequality. The 1927 musical features unforgettable songs by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, including “Ol’ Man River,” “Make Believe” and “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man.” See this grand-scale production on the big screen at James Armstrong Theater at Torrance Cultural Arts Center.
