Spicy 1950s rom-com Pillow Talk, starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson, will screen Tuesday, June 11, at 7:30 p.m. at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club. Day stars as Jan, an interior decorator, with Hudson as Brad, a composer and playboy, who share a telephone party line and a mutual dislike"until Brad sees Jan in person and hatches a plan to win her heart. The film was nominated for five Oscars and won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay. "Pillow Talk is a funny, heartwarming film that harkens back to the premise of the original screwball comedies, specifically a hilarious battle of the sexes," says Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club president Wendy Whittick, who will introduce the picture. "This film revitalized the careers of Hudson and Day, recasting him as a comic actor and giving her a sexier image. It was such a success that they were paired in two subsequent films." The film topped the U.S. box office for seven consecutive weeks, and grossed nearly $19 million, then considered a huge amount. It was named to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 2009, recognized for its cultural, historic and aesthetic significance. Pillow Talk is "one of the most lively and up-to-date comedy-romances of the year," said The New York Times in its original 1959 review. "It is really the clever witty screenplay that accounts for much of the sparkle in this film. With a CinemaScope screen to play on, (the screenwriters) and director Michael Gordon have much fun. And that fun is transmitted to the audience in an easy and generous flow of ingeniously graphic situations and nimble repartee." Tickets are on sale now! The Lindsay is an independent, film-driven nonprofit located at 418 Walnut St. in Sewickley.

A Front Yard for All: The Grand Opening of Allegheny RiverTrail Park's Expansion "Other duties as assigned" is par for the course for Tony Miga, director of operations at Allegheny RiverTrail Park (ARP), a public park managed by an independent, nonprofit organization. Thanks to the nonprofit's hard work, ARP successfully provides free public access to parkland and multi-use trails that stretch alongside a Aspinwall–Sharpsburg section of the Allegheny River. The park is not supported by taxpayer dollars,which is why fundraising is crucial to the park's existence. Tony likens the organization to a public radio station, which provides a service to the community using donations from community members and benefactors. He notes that "not too many parks operate in this way." On any given Tuesday, Tony can be found rustproofing the docks, consulting a bride about her wedding or even scheduling Geese Police maintenance (dogs used to discourage geese from overtaking the park). With events on June 7 and 8, the park will celebrate the grand opening of The Front Yard, which highlights the more than 6 acres of parkland and trails acquired in 2021. Visitors now have access to a mile and a half of a walking/running/biking trail. This new expansion brings the river to the forefront and highlights the natural beauty of the riverfront. Tony talks about the evolution of the park's development: "What was once an industrial scrapyard is now a vibrant public greenspace. The property has essentially doubled in size and we are eager to celebrate. We hope the new space will be a place people visit frequently. This park offers access to a huge, open lawn for both games and relaxation, access to river recreation, and new park programming such as summer camps and year-round classes." River Rocks, a ticketed evening event with dinner and dancing along the scenic backdrop of the river, takes place on Friday, June 7. Saturday, June 8 is a family-friendly day of food trucks, musical performances and kids' activities, starting at 2 pm and running through 9 pm, all free of charge. Outdoor concert performances include Patrick Hodge, Liz McBride, Ole Whitetail, and Bindley Hardware Co. Additional performances feature Peanut Butter & Jam, O'Ryan the O'mazing, and the Riverfront Theater Company. Lastly, a vendor marketplace has been organized and, yes, a rain plan is in effect. Dee Stathis, executive director of ARP, knows exactly how much hard work and dedication is necessary to host such a major event: "The behind-the-scenes effort is incredible. So much passion is poured into this park from board members, volunteers and community members. The personal resources these folks have given is amazing and shows a real love for this location." She discusses the park's origins: "This park was designed for everyone " in Pittsburgh and beyond. The park's original name, Aspinwall Riverfront Park, was changed to Allegheny RiverTrail Park in order to reflect a more regional feel. The original goal was to connect the bike trail to the [longer and larger] Three Rivers Heritage Trail, and this last acquisition of acreage brings us that much closer." She acknowledges that this is an initial stage of a much broader strategic plan, and that park visitors should be aware of the ongoing journey: "We plan on engaging the community " most likely via online surveys " to reach the park's ultimate goals. Right now, we're eager to highlight The Front Yard." The trail extension provides access to 13th Street in Sharpsburg, which park leaders believe will attract more people. The front yard is for anyone, but easily accessible (and in some cases, within walking distance) for residents of Sharpsburg, Aspinwall, O'Hara, Fox Chapel, and Etna. The grand opening event will showcase the park for a broader community. In addition to two main overlooks, a new deck along the river has been added. At more than 3,000 square feet, it provides ample room for picnics and family gatherings. The deck will double as a main stage for local performances and classes. The new park property hosts both Farmer x Baker, an on-site cafe sourcing local and organic ingredients, and 3Rivers Outdoor Company, a local kayak and paddleboard outfitter. Other longtime partners include the Riverfront Theater Company, Kindermusik by Lynda and the Fox Chapel Crew. Currently, the property is also home to many organizations and classes. Winchester Thurston Summer Camps, Yoga Flow, For the Love of Bachata and Dah Dah Creative Play (art and sensory play classes) are hosted on site. These additions augment the pre-existing offerings of the park, which include a marina with a fishing dock, a fenced-in dog park, relaxation space with swinging hammocks, and a shaded playground with bronze slides created as works of art by sculptor Tom Otterness. The welcome center includes a pavilion and party room that can hold up to 200 guests. ARP works in tandem with the Harris Event Group, which serves as their exclusive wedding provider and coordinates all large party rentals. Small, private events (under 50 guests) can be planned through Dee and Tony. Weddings are increasingly popular, with bookings made a year or more in advance. "The wedding space is truly a unique and beautiful venue, combining outdoor with indoor space," says Tony. "There's nothing else exactly like it in the region." The weekend extravaganza is designed to be a communitywide celebration of the new Front Yard. "We are welcoming everyone to see and experience our beautiful community asset," says Dee, "and this opening will bring us one step closer to our ultimate goals. We will engage the community and take our time to determine the best strategy to move ahead. It is crucial to the park's future that we are thoughtful as to how to activate and develop this beautiful, riverfront area which is so special to so many."

A sensory friendly screening of the new John Krasinski film IF is set for Saturday, May 25, at 10:30 a.m. at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center.

IF features Ryan Reynolds, Cailey Fleming and a star-studded cast of faces and voices including Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Awkwafina, Bradley Cooper and Blake Lively. The Lindsay's sensory friendly screenings are geared to families and individuals who are impacted by autism or other special needs, and enables the entire family to participate in the cinematic experience. No trailers are shown to reduce "sit time," dim house lights remain on throughout the screening and volume is lowered. Doors exiting the screening room remain open, allowing guests to easily walk into the lobby if they wish.

The one-of-a-kind panel is hosted by fellow "zombie talent" veteran and director/producer Mike Ancas (Day of the Dead, Chasing Zombies). Following the Q&A, at 2 p.m., watch Dawn of the Dead as it was intended to be seen: on the big screen. Romero's gut-chomping, genre-defining sequel to Night of the Living Dead premiered April 12,1979 at the Gateway Theater in downtown Pittsburgh yet is rarely seen on movie screens. The plot follows two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members, a traffic reporter and his television executive girlfriend who seek refuge from a zombie epidemic in a secluded shopping mall. The late critic Roger Ebert gave the movie four out of four stars and proclaimed it one of the best horror films ever made. Empire named it one of the 500 Greatest Movies of all Time in a 2008 survey. The film also launched the career of makeup and special effects artist Tom Savini, a Pittsburgh native who went on to work on classic horror films such as Friday the 13th parts 1 and 4, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Tickets are on sale now! The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center, formerly The Tull Family Theater, is an independent, film-driven arts nonprofit located at 418 Walnut St. in Sewickley.
