IMAX: Horses
The Story of Equus
Fueled by a sweeping story and lush
photography, this stunning IMAX film
charts the lives of three very different
horses that happened to be born at the
same stud farm on the very same night:
the racer, the rascal, and the runaway.
One trains to run alongside some of
the fastest track horses in the world, an-
other bucks the equestrian life and finds
stunt work in the movies, and the third
is released into the wild. Showtimes in
Movie Theater 10:00 am & 2:00 pm.

Iris Orchestra
Few composers in history can rival
the youthful genius of the young Felix
Mendelssohn. The prolific output of his
young teens laid the groundwork for
the masterful Overture to A Midsum-
mer Night’s Dream, an astonishing tour
de force of evocative orchestral imagery.
Robert Schumann’s first orchestral com-
position, his “Spring” Symphony No. 1,
was revolutionary. Capping off the pro-
gram, we welcome back our old friend,
the brilliant pianist Jon Kimura Parker,
in Rachmaninov’s romantic Piano Con-
certo No. 2. Call the GPAC box office
for tickets @ 751-7500. If you wish to
purchase season tickets or have a group
of 10 or more (tickets are 50% off) call
Iris @ 751-7669. Bus leaves at 1:30
nish the supplies we just need you to
volunteer a couple of hours of your day
to let our Heroes know we care. Mon-
day, October 12 @ 1:30 in the Arts and
Crafts Room. See you there!
