Fairfield Community Theatre - Programs

Programs

The foundation runs a number of programs using the theater:

  • The Casablanca Club program provides free showings of classic films during the afternoon to seniors and their guests.
  • The Cinemoms program provides free movies to mothers who can bring their babies (under 2 years old). The sound is turned down a bit and the lights are left on. Changing stations are available.
  • The theater's Film Movement Series shows two film series each year of quality independent films that have had very limited or no distribution.
  • Cinefest Fairfield is an annual film festival featuring short films of Fairfield University students, alumni and faculty which showcases the Department of Visual and Performing Arts' innovative New Media: Film, Television and Radio Program.
  • The Community Theatre Foundation Film School provides young people with an education in filmmaking in partnership with the Fairfield University Media Center.
  • The Student Film Festival annually presents films made by high school students, with awards to the best works in various categories.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:

    “Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
    —Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)

    “[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
    —Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

    “Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
    —Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
