Movies:
Hedwig and the Angry Inch, among others. It's based on the stage cult rock musical which, by the way, rocked the house at Actors in September 2007. Keep your eyes posted for other fantabulous plays (and one book) that were created into great movies, like Glengarry Glen Ross, Pride & Prejudice and A Raisin in the Sun, all of which will be at Actors in Fall 2008.If you dig old movies, check out Louisville Film Society (look in our Friends).Do you ever notice that when Louisville appears in movie they drive in nonsensical fashion? Check out Stripes and Elizabethtown - they're basically driving in circles or teleporting.
