Cinematique Presents: "Beatriz at Dinner"

Monday, August 7 - Wednesday, August 9

Thalian Hall Main Stage Theatre

Monday - Wednesday at 7pm, Wednesday at 4pm

Beatriz, an immigrant from a poor town in Mexico, has drawn on her innate kindness to build a career as a health practitioner in Los Angeles. Doug Strutt is a cutthroat, self-satisfied billionaire. When these two opposites meet at a dinner party, their worlds collide and neither will ever be the same. Features Chloë Savigny, Connie Britton, Jay Duplass, John Lithgow, and Salma Hayek.

From the critics:

"The real power of "Beatriz at Dinner" is that it isn't about politics but the human heart. Beatriz and Strutt are not arguing legislation; they're arguing two visions of the American dream, two visions of the human soul." Barbara VanDenburgh - Arizona Republic
"Together, screenwriter Mike White and his Enlightened director Miguel Arteta have an almost magical way with light-touch verbal sparring, an art that's become lost in today's broad, banter-filled comedies." Joshua Rothkopf - Time Out
