Head to the newly remodelled Berkeley Art Museum for an outdoor movie night featuring the classic “West Side Story” on Saturday, July 29th at 8:30 pm.
Bring along a blanket or lawn chair, and come early for live music with the All of Us trio playing favorites from the musical at 8 pm. Refreshments will be available.
About the movie: “In West Side Story, the gang’s all there: the Jets and their neighborhood nemesis the Sharks in the back alleys of late-fifties NYC. They’re finger-snappin’ tough and rowdy—JDs down to their white Ts and leather. And, sure, the beatings are backed by beats composed by Leonard Bernstein, and when they rumble, the stompin’ is to the so-cool choreography of Jerome Robbins. But the West Side is the domain of youth struggling with a “social disease” that’s part poverty, part parents, and part passion. West Side Story is the dizzying rush of youth that knows no bounds.”
The Berkeley Art Museum’s new design features a 30-foot-wide LED screen on the Addison side of the building with a dedicated viewing plaza.
