The Palm Beach Story • Screening on 35mm

Inspired by "Passengers" at the A.R.T.

Preston Sturges was a comedic genius, and this railway road movie is one of his best films. Nutty wife Colbert up and leaves her inventor husband and heads to Palm Beach by train to get a divorce, with jilted hubby hot on her trail. Mistaken identity, a loopy millionaire, the meddling of the boisterous “Ale and Quail Club,” and an inexplicable pair of twins follow as well.

Double Feature with THE DARJEELING LIMITED

This screening is co-presented with A.R.T., presenting "Passengers" September 2 through 26. All aboard! Montréal’s acclaimed physical-theater troupe The 7 Fingers is pulling into A.R.T. this September to perform its unique blend of circus, music, dance, and superhuman skills in "Passengers." Travel is a metaphor for life’s ever-changing landscape in this show that’s a “delight for all ages” (TheaterMania).
