Oct 22-Nov 12,
Special Screenings,
in Hollywood:
"THE CINERAMA DOME'S 50th ANNIVERSARY" is being celebrated with screenings of modern classics and speaking appearances by OLIVER STONE, STEVEN SPIELBERG, MICKEY ROONEY, THORA BIRCH, MICHAEL YORK, and more, at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.
+
It's the 50th anniversary of one of Hollywood's most recognizable landmarks -- The Cinerama Dome, a geodesic structure boasting a screen of 32 x 86 feet with a 146 degree curve. Opened on November 7, 1963, the Dome was designed to show movies in the Cinerama process, known for its ultra-realistic projection, and is currently one of only three theaters of the kind left in the world.
+
For this event, they're screening modern classics in The Dome, featuring Q&As with industry luminaries, displaying exhibits, and offering tailored drink specials.
+
Here are the basic details:
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" screens Oct 22 at 6 pm, preceded by a Q&A with influential, Oscar-winning Director Steven Spielberg.
+
"American Beauty," winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, screens Oct 25 at 7:30 pm, with a Q&A with star and Golden Globe-nominee Thora Birch after the film.
+
'How the West Was Won," winner of the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, screens Oct 27 at 12:40 pm; it was filmed in the curved-screen Cinerama process (meaning it NEEDS to be seen on this screen) and it features a cast of Hollywood royalty, including James Stewart, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Debbie Reynolds, Henry Fonda, and Karl Malden, among many.
+
"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" screens Oct 27 at 5 pm. The first movie ever screened at The Dome, it features the biggest comedic stars of the early 1960s in a madcap adventure, starring Spencer Tracey, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Sid Caesar, Mickey Rooney and a whole host of comedic actors. The event includes "appearances" by actors Mickey Rooney, Marvin Kaplan, and Barrie Chase.
+
"Logan's Run," a sci-fi classic nominated for two Academy Awards, screens Oct 29 at 7:30 pm, and includes a Q&A with star and Emmy-nominee Michael York following the film.
+
"JFK," winner of 5 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, screens Nov 12 at 7:30 pm, and includes a Q&A with Oliver Stone, Oscar-winning director of such films as Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, and Wall Street.
+
Don't dawdle with ticket purchases. All of these will sell-out.

+
Shana Morrison’s musical style has been called pop with a side of blues and a side of rock. She has also been known to include other ingredients, like country, R&B, and jazz into the mix. Her material seems to be ever-changing and hard to pin down categorically. What always remains the same is Shana's wide-ranging voice.
+
Shana Morrison began performing with her group CALEDONIA in the San Francisco Bay area in 1996. Her debut CD, "Caledonia," was released on her own label, Belfast Violet Records, in 1998, and picked up by the Monster Music label in 1999. "Caledonia" received favorable reviews from the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the San Francisco Examiner, as well as airplay on KPFA, KPIG, KPIX, KDVS, KHUM, and KFOG. Tours across the country soon followed.
+
Vanguard Records signed Shana in 2001, and "7 Wishes" was released in 2002. This time, she received favorable reviews from newspapers and magazines across the country, as well as airplay on KMTT in Seattle; KINK in Portland, Oregon; KSGR in Austin, Texas; and KBCO in Denver.
+
Since 1996, Shana has participated in benefit concerts for Oakland's American Legends Foundation. Paying tribute to and playing for artists who include Brownie McGee and Charles Brown, Shana has shared billing with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker, and Dr. John. She has also played for festival audiences on the main stage both at the Guinness Fleadh in New York in 1997, and in San Francisco in 1999. In 2000, Shana performed at the San Francisco Blues Festival, the Ottawa Blues Festival, and the Edmonton Folk Festival. Recently she has had the type of exposure she deserves, opening shows for Lyle Lovett, Joe Cocker, Michael MacDonald, John Hyatt, Keb 'Mo, and Bob Weir.
+
Shana's international exposure includes a live broadcast for the BBC's "Kelly Show" and an appearance at the BRIT Awards in 1996, when her father was presented with a lifetime-achievement award. This has been broadcast on A&E in America several times since. She also participated in a VH1 Father's Day special and was featured in "People" magazine in 1997, "Rolling Stone" in 1999, and in "Interview," as well as on the Oxygen channel's "Pure Oxygen," and on "The Howard Stern Show" in 2002.
+
Since 2002, the band has been busy with tours across the United States, Germany, Italy, Ireland, and the UK, playing radio shows, clubs, theaters, and festivals, most notably playing the Warfield in San Francisco, the Viper Room in Los Angeles, the House of Blues in Cambridge, the Bottom Line in New York, Meinisfree Open Air in Germany, the Arezzo Wave Pop festival in Italy, the Borderline in London, the Cork Jazz Festival, the Galway Arts Festival, and The Late Late Show in Ireland.
+
2006 through 2008 saw Shana singing beside Van Morrison again during his U.S. and U.K. tour dates. Twelve years have passed since her beginnings singing duets with Mr. Morrison in his Rhythm and Soul Review, which featured artists such as Jimmy Withersoon, Junior Wells, and John Lee Hooker.
+
Since her first foray into recording on the Van Morrison releases "A Night in San Francisco" (1994) and "Days Like This" (1995), Shana Morrison has grown as a singer, a songwriter, and an artist. Her self-produced 2007 release, the R&B-flavored CD "That's Who I Am," is on Belfast Violet Records. "Joyride,! produced by Kim McLean, was released in April 2010, also on Belfast Violet Records.
