3D Film: Jurassic World: Rebirth

Five years after the catastrophic global spread of dinosaurs, Earth's climate has turned against its prehistoric inhabitants. Most have perished; the survivors cluster in an equatorial refuge near the original Jurassic Park research facility on Île Saint-Hubert. Covert operations expert Zora Bennett assembles a team to extract DNA from the world's three largest dinosaurs, a pharmaceutical breakthrough with the potential to cure heart disease. Accompanying her are Duncan Kincaid, her trusted logistics specialist, and Dr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist and former student of Alan Grant. Their mission intersects with the Delgado family, whose boat capsized in dinosaur-infested waters, stranding them on the island. Together, both groups confront not only the prehistoric predators that stalk the terrain but a sinister, long-hidden discovery buried within the facility's ruins. The expedition quickly transforms from a scientific endeavor into a fight for survival against creatures that have mutated and evolved in ways no one anticipated.

$8 Adults, $5 Students (17&under) General Admission

Live Theatre: Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer.

Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

$28 Adults, $25 Early Bird/Grand Members, $15 Students (17&under) Reserved Seating

Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Maine Presents: Princess Ida

Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Maine presents: Princess Ida

On the Stanley Subaru Stage

Fridays, 7:00pm, Saturdays & Sundays, 2:00pm

Princess Ida has rejected the rule of men, and the marriage contract forced upon her in infancy. But when the time comes to fulfill it, her defiance may spark a war. When Ida fails to appear for the long-promised wedding, her determined suitor, Hilarion, disguises himself and his companions as women and infiltrates Castle Adamant, a university devoted entirely to women. Once their deception is exposed, Ida and her peers face an impossible choice: should she surrender her ideals and accept Hilarion’s devotion, or stand firm and risk war between two stubborn kings—and the destruction of the university she loves?

$20 Adults, $12 Students, $8 Youth (12&under) General Admission
