RICKMAN-A-THON: "Die Hard", "Galaxy Quest" and "Truly, Madly, Deeply"
A mini festival celebrating the film work of Alan Rickman
Kick at the Dark Theatre Company presents the RICKMAN-A-THON, a screening of three films featuring the late Alan Rickman. Presenting three shades of Mr. Rickman's work, the event will screen Truly, Madly, Deeply with Rickman as a romantic lead, Die Hard, where he plays seminal villain Hans Gruber, and the hilarious sci-fi epic Galaxy Quest, a later comic role. A fundraiser for Kick at the Dark's upcoming production of Seminar by Theresa Rebeck (Rickman's last stage credit), the RICKMAN-A-THON will run Tuesday March 29th at the Board Room Café, in Halifax 5pm to Midnight.
