Cinema series to present ‘Gigi & Nate’

2 min read
The next film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center is the heartwarming “Gigi & Nate.” It will be screened Saturday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Inspired by a true story, Nate Gibson’s (Charlie Rowe) life is turned upside down after he suffers a near-fatal illness and is left a quadriplegic. Moving forward seems impossible until he meets his unlikely service animal, Gigi – a curious and intelligent capuchin monkey – who helps Nate find what he needs most: hope. Phil Villareal, on ABC Tucson calls the film “one of this year’s very best.” Patrick McDonald, on HollywoodChicago.com, calls it “a perfect family film.” Josh Batchelder, on Josh at the Movies, calls it “a note-perfect drama about the heartwarming love between a service animal and (its) owner, proving forevermore that creature comforts can act as a cooling balm for anxiety and depression.” Rated PG-13 for some thematic material and language, “Gigi & Nate” runs one hour, 54 minutes. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. In addition, Opera House programming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning eyeglasses for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center with a mission to “present the performing arts for the benefit of our community and region … providing access to artistic diversity … and high quality programming at an affordable price.” It is located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.
