OPENING NIGHT PREMIERE
PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS
Friday, September 22
7:00pm

Our 2006 Opening Night Selection, PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS, unfolds as a nonstop laugh-fest full of insights on evolving sexual identities and the quest for love in New York City. From the director of the classic The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love it is a hilarious tale about a girl who can’t say yes-to love.

The gorgeous Elizabeth Reaser (The Family Stone) turns in a tremendous performance as Alegra, an opera-loving New York City lesbian who bluntly describes herself as“ narcissistic, passive-aggressive, self-absorbed and incapable of connecting.” After Alegra’s commitment issues send her girlfriend (Julianne Nicholson) into the arms of a male rival, Alegra finds herself suddenly attracted to two new lovers: Philip (the delicious Justin Kirk of Angels In America fame) and Grace (Gretchen Mol of The Notorious Bettie Page).

For lesbians, hasbians and the greater queer community, PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS breaks new cinematic ground as it updates queer sexuality for the 21st century.

Directed by Maria Maggenti, USA - 90 min
