Palomino Entertainment Group and
the Williamsburg Regional Library present



a zany new comedy

Charles and April, a working class couple, try to stay one step ahead of their mischievous little daughter, Buttercup.


The days of old time radio come alive again with Palomino Entertainment Group's world premiere production of "Our Little Buttercup" by local playwright Paul Schutte.  This hilarious new comedy takes place in a radio station in the 40's and 50's when radio was king.

 
"Our Little Buttercup" is performed live with actors, sound effects and music and recreates those wonderful programs reminiscent of the "Golden Era" of radio.

The Wind That Shakes The Barley Not rated.  (2006)
Wednesday, May 7, 7 p.m.

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, this gripping drama by Ken Loach (Raining Stones) is set during the early days of the Irish Republican Army, when British occupation of the Irish radicalized many a citizen and caused some to take up arms. Cillian Murphy plays Damien, a medical student on his way to London when he witnesses atrocities committed by British troops. Instead of becoming a doctor, he turns into a leading and respected figure in an IRA division led by his brother, Teddy (Padraic Delaney).

The Celtic Film Series will resume in the Fall.
