SUMMARY:Arrested Development
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, May 29 at 8pm \nOrganization: Waterville Opera House \nVenue: Waterville Opera House\, 1 Common Street\, Waterville\, Maine \nThis event is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund. \nTrue Hip-hop trailblazers since 1991\, Arrested Development has been cultural champions of consciousness and empowerment across the planet. Their representation of eclectic and vibrant African sounds and clothing has produced a unique clash of rhythms and style that continue to contrast the expected look and sound of Hip-hop culture. \nArrested Development have been supporters of important groups and movements like the National Coalition of The Homeless\, and the African National Congress (ANC). \nWith numerous album releases\, and world tours\, Arrested Development has been ground-breaking in Hip-hop culture. Their album\, “3 Years\, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of…”\, earned them two Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Rap Single (Tennessee)\, 2 MTV awards\, a Soul Train Music Award\, and the NAACP Image Award. Rolling Stone magazine named them Band of The Year in 1992\, while VH-1 named them one of the greatest Hip-hop artists of all time! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame even named the AD smash “Tennessee” one of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. Sharing the stage with such important figures such as Nelson Mandela\, Minister Louis Farrakhan\, Hilary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama\, AD are the categorical definition of legends. \nTICKETS + INFO

SUMMARY:Pressure
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Memorial Day screening before the film begins its regular run on May 29! \nIn the tense 72 hours before D-Day\, with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance\, Pressure follows General Dwight D.
