Playing at The Harbor Theatre
“The Endless Summer” (digitally restored) is Bruce Brown's first film on surfing to receive a national release. In this first serious cinematic look at the sport, Brown and two of his surfing buddies, Robert August and Mike Hynson, grab their surfboards and try the waves in Hawaii, Africa, Australia, Tahiti, and a number of other nations. The film also features a great surf-rock score by The Sandals. It plays Wednesday, July 23 at 7 p.m.
“Chef,” written and directed by Jon Favreau in the title role is the story of Chef Carl Casper who suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity. Casper eventually finds himself in Miami, where he teams up with his ex-wife, his ex-wife's husband, his friend and his son to launch a food truck. “Chef” is rated R (for language). It plays through Saturday, July 26 at 7 p.m.
“How To Train Your Dragon-2,” DreamWorks Animation returns to the world of dragons and Vikings in this sequel to their successful 2010 outing “How to Train Your Dragon.” Based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn't exactly fit in with his tribe's longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view. “How To Train Your Dragon-2” is rated PG. It plays Sunday, July 27 with two shows at 3 and 7 p.m. and Monday, July 28 through Wednesday, July 30 at 7 p.m.
The theatre is at 185 Townsend Avenue, Boothbay Harbor (across from Hannaford's market). For more information, call 207-633-0438 or visit www.harbortheatre.net.
Playing at the Lincoln Theater
“Jersey Boys” is the story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic 1960s rock group The Four Seasons. It plays Wednesday, July 23 at 7 p.m. and Thursday, July 24 at 2 p.m.
“The Nance” (starring Nathan Lane, captured live from Broadway): In the 1930s, burlesque impresarios welcomed the hilarious comics and musical parodies of vaudeville to their decidedly lowbrow niche. A headliner called “the nance” was a stereotypically camp homosexual and master of comic double entendre — usually played by a straight man. It plays Thursday, July 24 at 7 p.m.
“Ida” (In Polish with English subtitles): A moving and intimate drama about a young novitiate nun in 1960s Poland who, on the verge of taking her vows, discovers a dark family secret dating from the terrible years of the Nazi occupation. It plays at 7 p.m. Friday, July 25 through Sunday July 27, Tuesday, July 29, Wednesday, July 30; and 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 31.
Royal Shakespeare Company presents “Henry IV: Part II”: King Henry's health is failing as a second rebellion threatens to surface. But is Hal more concerned with earthly pleasures than the responsibility of rule a worthy heir? Hal must choose between duty and loyalty to an old friend in Shakespeare's heartbreaking conclusion to this pair of plays. It plays Thursday, July 31 at 7 p.m.
The theatre is at 2 Theater Street, Damariscotta. For more information, call 207-563-3424 or visit www.athelincoln.org.
