BACKGROUND: Fed up with her dishonest boss, Jorge (Kevin Bacon), hairstylist Gina Norris (Queen Latifah) decides to set up her own beauty shop in this all-star comedy that includes appearances by Djimon Hounsou, Mena Suvari, Andie MacDowell and Alfre Woodard. Taking over a run-down Atlanta salon complete with sassy stylists and quirky clientele, Gina and her shampoo girl (Alicia Silverstone) create fabulous looks -- and give Jorge a run for his money.
This film is rated PG-13 on appeal for sexual material, language and brief drug references.

WHAT: Gone With The Wind
WHEN: Friday, August 5th at 7:15 p.m.
WHERE: The Orpheum Theatre
BACKGROUND: Director Victor Fleming's 1939 Academy Award-winning epic adaption of Margaret Mitchell's novel of the same name stars Vivien Leigh as self-absorbed, headstrong Scarlett O'Hara, a Southern Belle who meets her match in Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) just as the Civil War breaks out. Living on a large cotton plantation called Tara in rural Georgia in 1861, Scarlett sees her beloved home and life as she knows it go up in flames -- but will her true love be lost too?
All belles and beaux are encouraged to wear their best curtain, hoopskirt, or Southern genteel flair for a chance to win prizes and parade across the historic Orpheum stage.
