The Kimball Theatre

Located in Merchants Square, the Kimball Theatre is home to current films and live performances. On any given day, you might see a Colonial Williamsburg interpreter portray Patrick Henry or enjoy a jazz ensemble of talented students from the College of William and Mary. Perhaps the Peninsula's Jewish Film Festival is in town, or maybe you'll see players performing an 18th-century Grand Medley of Entertainments. Whatever your tastes, the Kimball Theatre is at the center of Williamsburg's community activities. Creative programming alliances with the College of William and Mary, community organizations, and Colonial Williamsburg link our past with the present.

<i>A Single Man</i> is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. Set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it tells the story of British college professor George Falconer (Colin Firth) who struggles to find meaning in his life after the death of his longtime partner.

A romantic tale of love-interrupted and isolation, the film ultimately reveals the importance of the seemingly insignificant moments in life. Colin Firth received the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the 2009 Venice Film Festival. Academy Award nomination for Best Actor (Colin Firth). Mar. 15–20, 22–23 screening room. 100 mins.

A Grand Medley of Entertainments

March 22, 2010 7:30 PM

Owen Murdock’s company gamely tries to present a Grand Medley -- an 18^th-century traveling show! There should be amazing feats, strange beasts, and fast-paced hilarity, but things aren’t going well for the company. Their misfortunes provide a comedy of errors for the entire family to enjoy.

A colonial entertainment of such mirth, even Colonel Washington would have laughed!

Additional ticket required - $12 adults, $6 for children under 6.
