An adventurous and hilarious thriller, The 39 Steps started as a World War 1 espionage novel by Scottish author John Buchan, then became Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1935 thriller (followed by three further film adaptations) before finally being adapted for the stage, becoming a West End and then Broadway hit, nominated for Best Play and Best Direction at the Tony Awards. It’s a play that is sure to keep audiences guessing and laughing. From thriller to comedy, The 39 Steps manages to encompass lots of different elements and keeps people engaged and on the edge of their seats. Originally presented by four actors playing 150 characters, Warren Wilson’s production takes a different but equally imaginative tack. The play is known to make fun of its own story and challenges the actors to quickly adapt to different scenes and keep up with their roles.

This film exposes information never before examined or brought to the attention of the American public.

Are you confused about what to do with all of those digital files that you are accumulating on your memory card, and are afraid to transfer them over to your computer? And, once you do get them on your computer, then what? Perhaps you've been at things for a while now and you have created hundreds, if not thousands, of digital image files, but your file and folder organization on your cmputer leaves a lot to be desired. And, you're probably spending more time behind the computer than you are out creating more photos. In other words, your digital "production line" is inefficient and lacks consistency. Of equal concern, years into the future, how are you ever going to find a specific image that you have stored on your hard drive or on some other media? There is an easier way, and it's called "digital workflow".

The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet Sergei Radchenko sought to bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies. Under Radchenko’s direction, leading dancers from across the Russias have forged exciting new productions of timeless classics such as Don Quixote, Paquita,l Carmen, and tonight’s offering - Jean Coralli's Giselle, a story of young love, mistaken identity, and the journey of the spirit. Giselle, a peasant girl, has fallen in love with Count Albrécht, who has led her to believe that he is a villager named Loys. Her superstitious mother, Berthe, hoping that Giselle will marry the forester Hilarion, warns her against Loys, to whom she has taken an instinctive dislike. When true identities are revealed, the results are tragic, and mystical.
