This week at the Harbor Theater
"Six; The Musical Live!" - (PG-13; 1 hour, 31 minutes) - Henry VIII's six wives—Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr—hold a singing competition to see who had the worst time with their larger than life ex, ultimately deciding to rewrite their own stories.

"A pop concert that comes with a history lesson. With incredible performances, detailed costumes, and hilarious quips, this one is a lot of fun.” – Tessa Smith, Mama's Geeky
"Tony" - (R; 1 hour, 46 minutes) - Long before he became the celebrated chef, author, and world traveler audiences came to know, Anthony Bourdain was a restless 19-year-old searching for direction. When a summer in Provincetown lands him in the wild, fast-paced world of a restaurant kitchen, an unexpected mentor and a colorful cast of characters set him on a path that will change his life forever. Tony is a funny, warm, and sometimes messy coming-of-age story about the formative summer that helped shape an icon. Featuring a standout performance by Antonio Banderas, the film is an affectionate tribute to mentorship, finding your place in the world, and the experiences—and people—that can alter the course of a life. Opening Friday, Sept. 11, 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12, 7 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 13, 2 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Sept. 17, 7 p.m.
“Thanks to Sessa’s performance, Tony is a wholly unique creation. It’s kind of like a filmmaker invested in a side character, a supporting player, the seemingly headed-for-nothing beautiful loser who the hero meets along the way, before jettisoning him.” – Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
"The Magic Faraway Tree" - (PG; 1 hour, 50 minutes) - Opening Night Family Pass Deal! - Adapted from Enid Blyton's beloved classic novel The Magic Faraway Tree, the film centers on Polly (Claire Foy), Tim (Andrew Garfield), and their three children -- a modern family forced to relocate to the remote English countryside.

“The Magic Faraway Tree is undoubtedly a movie for young people, but thankfully it succeeds as a film for adults too, gently reminding us that imagination is for everyone.” – Beandrea July, New York Times
"Exhibition on Screen: James McNeill Whistler" - (90 minutes) - Directed by David Bickerstaff. Bold, experimental, and famously witty, James McNeill Whistler challenged the conventions of Victorian society and helped redefine what art could be. A contemporary of the Impressionists and admired by artists including Van Gogh and Manet, Whistler championed the idea of “art for art’s sake,” pursuing beauty, atmosphere, and harmony above traditional storytelling. Inspired by the relationship between painting and music, he gave many of his works musical titles—arrangements, harmonies, and nocturnes—to emphasize the importance of tone and composition. His most famous work, "Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1" (1871), better known as Whistler’s Mother, has become one of the most recognizable—and frequently parodied—paintings in the world. Filmed in close collaboration with Tate Britain during the first major Whistler retrospective in three decades, this new Exhibition on Screen film brings together celebrated masterpieces and rarely seen works to reveal the fascinating artist behind them—and the lasting influence of his remarkable vision. Two shows only: Friday, Sept. 18, 2 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 19, 2 p.m.
