The Prospector will screen the indie film Like Sunday, Like Rain, followed by a live Q&A session with the film’s director, Frank Whaley, on Wednesday, April 29, at 7 p.m.
Audiences may be more familiar with Whaley through his work as an actor in numerous films, including Field of Dreams, Born on the Fourth of July, and the television series Ray Donovan. Like Sunday, Like Rain is Whaley’s fourth film as a director — and the Q&A session following the screening is sure to offer insights into the process of bringing a story from script to screen.
Much like the theme of music that is featured in the film, the director has said that a great film must provide a structure in which talented actors have an opportunity to do their best work. Film critic Gary Goldstein says that Whaley succeeded masterfully in this regard, noting that “Shatkin and Meester are terrific together.” During the post-screening conversation, Whaley will also no doubt have plenty of stories to share about his work with legendary actors like Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise and directors like Oliver Stone, who has worked with him numerous times.
Cost is $25 per ticket, with proceeds benefiting a high school drama program.
