Staged Reading | Stone Don't Lie: Betrayal and Revenge at the Cathedral
Daniel Walter Owens's Stone Don’t Lie is a two-act play about betrayal, revenge, and friendship. Two lifelong friends, Bobby and Jerome (both ex-addicts), are in a stone-carving competition, the outcome of which could save the Cathedral’s bankrupt stone yard training program. The Cathedral’s stone yard is where they both found shelter, purpose, and learned their skills of cutting and carving stone. Jerome returns to the stone yard to exact punishment on Bobby for an act of betrayal which resulted in Jerome suffering a painful and crippling injury. Errol, the new Master Mason, is all that stands between a failed competition, the closure of the stone yard and Bobby’s punishment at the hands of Jerome.

Film | Sommerfilme: 8 Under-the-Radar German Films (online thru Aug 31)
These eight summer films portray the warm season rarely as carefree as it’s supposed to be. Summer, in the popular imagination, is a sun-drenched, fun-filled time spent exploring and dreaming of the possibilities that life holds for us. It’s the days we might spend at the beach, by the lake, or in a too-hot city. Summer is also a time to enjoy cinema, whether it’s in an air-conditioned theater or under the stars. The past decades have brought us summer films we all know and love: iconic blockbusters, tender coming-of-age tales, stories of new beginnings, and feel-good movies to watch over and over again. Films: Thomas Arslan, Bright Nights (2017) Ilker Catak, I Am, I Was, I Will Be (2019) Leonie Krippendorff, Cocoon (2020) Sonja Kröner, The Garden (2017) Johannes Maria Schmitt, Neubau (2021) Tom Sommerlatte, Summers Downstairs (2015) Sven Taddicken, The Most Beautiful Couple (2018) Joya Thome, Queen of Niendorf (2017) All films in German with English subtitles.
