Ari Hest Live in Concert
What happens when you mix the vocal style of an artist like Michael McDonald with the more modern passions of musical storytellers like Andrew Ripp or Matthew Mayfield? You get a rich, audible landscape like you find with Ari Hest. Piano, guitar, strings and thoughtful lyrics collide with a voice that is distinctly his. Hest has been busy over the last decade-plus, releasing an early EP while still in college and more than a dozen others since.
Ari Hest is an incredible songwriter, musician, and singer. He plays with soul and plenty of humor.

Darling
NR
DARLING follows a lonely young woman who moves into an old, mysterious Manhattan mansion. Hired as caretaker, it's not long before she discovers the estate's haunted reputation and troubling past - stories that slowly transform into a backdrop for her twisted and violent descent into madness... Mickey Keating's new feature is a chilling black‐and‐white psychological horror story beautifully shot in New York City. Edited like a nightmare and scored like a hallucination.
Hockney
UR
Hockney weaves together a portrait of the multifaceted artist from frank interviews with close friends and never before seen footage from his own personal archive. One of the great surviving icons of the 1960s, Hockney's career may have started with almost instant success but in private he has struggled with his art, relationships, and the tragedy of AIDS, making his optimism and sense of adventure truly uplifting. Hockney is funny, inspiring, bold and visionary.
Jonathan Edwards Live!
For more than 40 years, Jonathan Edwards has carried the singer-songwriter torch for classic rock fans across the globe.
Along with stars such as Jackson Browne, Carole King and James Taylor, and departed troubadours Jim Croce, John Denver and Harry Chapin, Edwards helped define the term “singer-songwriter” in the early 1970s, propelled to the top of the charts by his enduring hit, “Sunshine.”
That song alone sold in excess of 1 million copies soon after its release, but a followup hit, “Shanty,” may have turned Edwards into a true cultural icon.
Jonathan Edwards also continues to release new material, with his latest album, “My Love Will Keep,” featuring country-tinged tracks, tender insightful songs and trademark Edwards-styled romps. He also keeps crisscrossing the country on tour, having cultivated a diehard audience for his music.

Melissa Ferrick Pride Concert
CinemaSalem joins with all the North Shore in celebrating Pride Week with a concert featuring Melissa Ferrick, one of our most accomplished singer/songwriters.
As a perceptive, restless artist, Melissa's voice is individual and unique, but her compositions like "Scenic View" can become anthems for an entire community.
Melissa Ferrick's recently-released 12th original album is a coming home. She has arrived in a place musically that is both familiar and new. Melissa is a better writer, engineer, producer, and overall artist. The self-titled album is, in many ways, a new beginning for Ferrick. Written in just over a year, recorded at home, and released on her own relaunched label, Right On Records, Melissa Ferrick has given us a simple, eloquent, and honest acoustic album with an undeniable level of maturity.
For long-time fans, this will be a welcome new arrival. For those who are just discovering Ferrick, this is a superb way to be introduced. A completely solo effort in its process, creation, and release, Melissa Ferrick is marking the middle of her career with a perfect return to songwriting, and to herself.
Melissa grew up in Ipswich, MA during the 70's, playing the violin and going to jazz clubs on the North Shore with her father, who managed local bands. In elementary school, she learned to play trumpet and bass guitar, which led the way to songwriting in high school. At 16, Melissa was accepted into the New England Conservatory's Youth Orchestra and Wind Ensamble as a trumpet player, giving her the opportunity to tour with the Conservatory's Extension Division, which traveled to perform in California and China. She was accepted to Berklee College of Music on songwriting and trumpet scholarships and chose to continue her music education there from 1988-1990. After two years playing Boston's local rock club scene, Melissa left school and moved to New York City.
In 1990, Melissa lived on 14th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, playing at the Bitter End weekly and working at Right Track Recording studios and Chrysalis Records to learn the ropes of the business. In July of 1991, Melissa's phone rang and she was asked to open that night for Morrissey in Boston on his his 'Kill Uncle' tour. She was invited to finish the U.S. dates with Morrissey and to continue on to the U.K. as his opening act.
When she returned to the States, 21 years old, she was offered deals with three major labels.
Melissa signed with Atlantic Records, and in 1993 she released her debut album, "Massive Blur." After her sophomore effort, "Willing to Wait," was released in 1995, Melissa was dropped by Atlantic Records. She regrouped, got sober, and released three albums on Boulder, CO based W.A.R.? Records. In 2000, Ferrick founded her own label, Right On Records, and released a string of Albums and EP's. In 2010, before almost going bankrupt, Ferrick put her own label "on the shelf" and signed with NY based MPress Records. Melissa released two albums with MPress, 2011's "Still Right Here" and 2013's "the truth is". Still Right Here debuted on Billboard’s Heat-Seekers Album Charts, won an 8th annual International Acoustic Music Award (IAMA), and garnered two Independent Music Award (IMA) nominations. The title track’s music video premiered on the launch of Huffington Post’s Gay site and won two RightOutTV awards. Ferrick was also a featured music honoree in OUT Magazine’s OUT100 – focusing on artists who make an impact on the community. 2013's "the truth is" was the first self-produced album since 2004 and an evolution in the sound she had developed over the course of her career.
The record was also a creative departure in its collaborative approach to the recording process, hiring grammy award winning engineer Trina Shoemaker to mix the album remotely from Alabama and Independent Mastering to master the album remotely via Nashville. The result was a sweeping Americana/Alt-Country soundtrack with some of the lushest, brightest, and expertly written songs of her 20-year career. "the truth is" won the 2014 Independent Music Award for Alt-Country Album of the Year Fan Vote.
Ferrick is also an eight-time Boston Music Award winner and regarded by the industry and her peers as one of the most prolific and hardworking artists in the business. Ferrick tours regularly and plays throughout North America, performing upwards of 100 shows a year. She has shared the stage with Morrissey, Marc Cohn, Paul Westerberg, Dwight Yoakam, John Hiatt, Weezer, Tegan and Sara, G-Love & Special Sauce, Bob Dylan, Dan Bern, Ani DiFranco, k.d. Lang, Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, Joan Armatrading, Mike Doughty, The Indigo Girls and many others.

Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare: Midsummer Night's Dream
CinemaSalem and Creative Salem present a truly unique theatrical experience: Sh*t-faced Shakespeare is the deeply highbrow fusion of an entirely serious Shakespeare play with an entirely sh*t-faced cast member. Side-splitting, raucous and completely interactive, the show has been running since 2010 and has sold out theaters in London, Edinburgh, Boston, Austin, and now Salem.
With a genuinely drunken professional actor selected at random every night, no two shows are ever the same.
Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist – reminding them as we go to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.
Seating for this live theatrical event is reserved: Best Seats (front three rows) $29; Next Best Seats (rows 4-9) $25; Awesome Seats (Rows 10-14) $21; and "There Are No Bad Seats" (Row 15) $17.

Vita Activa, The Spirit of Hannah Arendt
UR
The German-Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt caused an uproar in the 1960s by coining the subversive concept of the "Banality of Evil" when referring to the trial of Adolph Eichmann, which she covered for the New Yorker magazine. Her private life was no less controversial thanks to her early love affair with the renowned German philosopher and Nazi supporter Martin Heidegger. This thought provoking and spirited documentary, with its abundance of archival materials, offers an intimate portrait of the whole of Arendt's life, traveling to places where she lived, worked, loved, and was betrayed, as she wrote about the open wounds of modern times. Through her books, which are still widely read and the recent release of Margarethe von Trotta's biopic HANNAH ARENDT (also a Zeitgeist Films release) there is renewed interest in Arendt throughout the world, especially among young people who find her insights into the nature of evil, totalitarianism, ideologies, and the perils faced by refugees, more relevant than ever.
