PNT Radio Theater presents "The Lone Ranger" and "Flash Gordon'" Saturday, March 25, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 26, at 2 p.m. at Parson's Nose Theater. While the reading is free, reserved tickets are required.
"Paper Tigers" (2015, NR) will be shown Thursday, March 30, at 7 p.m. at the Eliot Arts Academy Auditorium. The documentary follows six at-risk students at Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, Wash., and the principal who believes childhood trauma has caused their seriously negative behaviors. This radical change in disciplinary philosophy impacts the students' lives in ways nobody could have imagined. Jim Sporleder, the former principal featured in the film, will be a special guest at the screening and will answer questions from the audience. Sponsored by Young & Healthy. While the event is free, registration is required.
