Program Description
Event Details
This Summer's reading theme is Read Beyond the Beaten Path, so we are screening films based on books that take you to far off places. During Tuesdays in July, you can travel in a cinematic time-machine by watching modern versions of William Shakespeare's plays on the Pacific Beach Library's big screen. Although more than 400 years have passed since they were written, the plots and social commentary of William Shakespeare’s plays still resonate with audiences in these contemporary-looking film adaptations. We continue with She's the Man.
Description: In this updating of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," a star soccer player masquerades as her brother and joins his prep-school squad. She eventually falls for her new teammate, who also happens to be her roommate. Starring: Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, Laura Ramsey, Vinnie Jones, Robert Hoffman. (2006, PG-13, 105 minutes)
