The Lincoln Library Film Society presents “Waking the Dead” (2000, rated R) on Thursday, Nov. 21 at 6 p.m. in the Tarbell Room. When one man’s ‘70s idealism confronts his ‘80s aspirations, he begins an emotional rollercoaster that brings ghosts back to life and the ultimate question: does love conquer all, even death?
Come see the Lincoln Middle School performance of “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane”based on Kate DiCamillo’s novel of the same name. Edward Tulane is an expensive and vain toy rabbit. He is loved by a little girl named Abilene, but he is too self-centered to care. He is accidentally thrown overboard on a sea voyage, and so begins his years-long miraculous journey, during which Edward learns about love. Suitable for ages 8+.
Tickets will be sold at the door 30 minutes before showtime: $10 for adults, $5 for students/seniors/Lincoln Public Schools employees (cash or check only). The production budget is entirely funded by ticket proceeds.
