Movies in the Park presents 'Meet the Robinsons'
meet-the-robinsons.jpg
July 25th, 2008
Office: Cultural/Art Event
Time: 9:30 PM
Location: Pennsylvania Park, across from Perry Hotel

The Petoskey Film Theater continues its Movies-in-the-Park series with the animated Disney film "Meet the Robinsons" on Friday, July 25, 9:30 pm at Pennsylvania Park (across from the Perry Hotel), Petoskey. Donations are appreciated. For information on upcoming films call the PFT Movie Hotline  at 758-3108. Bring your blankets and lawnchairs and have a fun-filled movie night out under the stars.

"Meet the Robinsons" is a visually impressive children's animated film marked by a story of considerable depth. Based on William Joyce's beautifully illustrated children's book "A Day with Wilbur Robinson", this lively computer-animated Disney film follows the adventures of Lewis (voiced by Jordan Fry and Daniel Hansen), a young orphaned inventor who is determined to find his birth mother by using a "memory scanner," a device of his own creation. When Lewis meets a boy from the year 2037 named Wilbur Robinson (Wesley Singerman), they begin a charmingly strang time-traveling journey that involves Wilbur's eccentric family, bowler hats bent on world domination, song-and-dance frogs, and a frustrated Tyrannosaurus Rex. Boasting the debut of cutting-edge 3D technology, "Meet the Robinsons" is directed by first-time feature-film director Stephen J. Anderson, who also voices numerous characters, including the mustachioed villian, Bowler Hat Guy. (Other notable vocal actors include Angela Bassett, Tom Selleck, Adam West, Harland Williams, and Laurie Metcalf). ROBINSONS also marks Pixar head John Lasseter's first outing as an executive producer on a non-Pixar movie, resulting in a film that features some of that company's signature energy and wit, but stands on its own outside of that universe. While ROBINSONS' literally all-over-the-place plot can be a little difficult to follow at times, its stunning retro-futuristic visuals and amiably wacky characters easily keep viewers entertained.

Laura Bates Performs

July 25th, 2008
Office: Cultural/Art Event
Location: City Park Grill

Earthworks Music and Fox on a Hill Productions Present:

Laura Bates

Laura Bates and Brandon Foote's sound is timeless, rootsy and lush, with soaring harmonies, piano, mandolin and guitars harkening back to the olden days with new vision. Bates and Foote look and sound like they just stepped off the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, or perhaps even further back, to the dance halls of the civil war era - always digging deeper and moving forward

With their unique blend of old-time, folk, bluegrass and country, Laura Bates and Brandon Foote have graced coffee shops, bookstores, pubs, and festivals with tradition favorites and original songs. Booking their act as "Guitar, Mandolin, and Two Voices", their sound is refreshingly simple and strives for authenticity, with nods to the Carter Family, the Monroe Brothers, and Tim and Mollie O'Brien.

Their debut album, Jubilee was released in April 2007 on Earthwork Music showcasing a handful of fine microphones and a cast of talented friends. With reflective and poignant songwriting, Jubilee presents gospel tinged Mighigan roots at its best.

In this day of overproduced, synthetic music, it is albums like Jubilee that refresh and fill our plates with the honest simplicity of a Sunday morning.

Gail Gerrie Performs

Gail Gerrie is known throughout the North Country for her expressive vocal work. Her Scots-Irish great grandparents settled in the Boyne Area at the turn of the 1900's but Gail, the daughter of a now retired Navyman, was born in Virginia.   Though she has a classical music foundation, Gail has always appreciated the melting pot of her All-American heritage (Scots-Irish-American Indian-English-German) and found delight in playing many styles of music.
 
 Active in fine arts from an early age, Gail enjoyed performing in the San Francisco Bay Area, Alaska and wherever her military families duties demanded. The guitar Gail's parents gave her when she was five opened the door to putting music with the songs she was constantly making up. They later supplied her with a flute and supported her many opportunities to grow and blossom as an artist and musician. Winner of the Julia Ward Howe Competive Vocal Scholarship from Wayne State University, she also sat by invitation as a flutist with the University of Michigan summer symphony. Working with a number of agents, she toured as the front person and lead vocalist with a variety of bands across the U.S. before "coming home". She now works as an independent artist with a variety of musicians in the Boyne area.
  
Active in her community, she is currently is working in Program Development for the Boyne City Foundation for Educational Excellence to create an endowment fund.
 
Gail's versatile vocals and velvet blend with harmony add a vibrant dimension to her musical partnerships. Her style is a melding of musical passions that delivers the true heart of the song. Layering her vocals with her accomplishments on flute, guitar and percussion, Gail delivers a sweet powerfilled package of song.
