Ki Theatre holds benefit

With arts funding in Virginia slashed to almost nothing during the last session of the General Assembly, the Ki Theatre is approaching the problem head-on, holding a benefit dinner and performance at the home of Rick and Lindy Hart in Hume Saturday night.

The Washington, Va.-based arts company relies on tax-deductible donations to continue operations. Write Ki Theatre, Washington, Va. 22747 or call 987-3164.

Movie: 'Reversal of Fortune'

The Sunday night movie showing at The Theatre at Washington, Va. this week is "Reversal of Fortune," the story of the Von Bulow trial, at 7:30 p.m.

The movie, rated R, is based on the book by Alan Dershowitz.

Glenn Close stars with Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons in the suspenseful, first-hand portrayal of the crime and two men's efforts to demolish the prosecution's case and reverse the jury's devastating verdict.

Having the brain-dead heiress narrate the film is one of the clever, unsettling and even brilliant ideas that drive this black comedy.

Other movies coming up at the theater are "Sleeping with the Enemy," June 30; "Defending Your Life," July 7; "Vincent and Theo," July 14; "Shipwrecked," July 21 and "Guilty by Suspicion," July 28.

Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for children. Call the RAAC arts hotline at 6753073 for more information.
