All About Eve tells the story of Margo Channing. Legend. True star of the theatre. The spotlight is hers, always has been. But now there’s Eve. Her biggest fan. Young, beautiful Eve. The golden girl, the girl next door. But you know all about Eve…don’t you…?

Jan 18 & 19, 1pm. Filmed live from The Old Vic in London and presented in encore screenings at the Playhouse, Academy Award-winner Sally Field (Steel Magnolias, Lincoln) and Bill Pullman (The Sinner, Independence Day) star in Arthur Miller’s blistering drama All My Sons.

Feb 1 & 2, 1:00pm. Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott (BBC’s Sherlock, Fleabag) in Noël Coward’s provocative comedy Present Laughter.

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

What the critics say:

The Charlie Film Festival is a high school film competition designed to foster creativity and innovation in our community's youth.

Now in its amazing 51st year as a film celebration from the highschools of Waterloo County, this annual festival is the culmination of months of scripting, shooting and editing by highschool filmmakers. The collection of films is fun, touching and revealing. The viewer gets deep inside the exploring, inhibited, maturing and growing mind of the highschool filmmaker.
