Happy November!

Many people have been asking about my recent trip to Morocco, so I thought I would share some photos. Here are some photos taken on our camel trek and camping trip in the Sahara, Dar Batha Museum in Fez, Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou, and in the Souks in the Medina in Marrakech. I will share more photos at a later date. -Tracy

After spending time in a mental institution, Hunter "Patch" Adams decides to become a doc-tor, based on his lighthearted hypothesis that in-troducing patients to humor will significantly im-prove their quality of life. Cast Robin Wil-liams, Daniel London & Monica Potter.

A Night at the Opera 1935—NR—92 minutes—Subtitles

Saturday, November 17th 7:15 pm (KGP) The Marx Brothers -- Groucho, Harpo and Chico -- wreak havoc in the opera house in one of their biggest hits. Penned by Morrie Ryskind and George S. Kaufman, the film contains perhaps the greatest Marx comedy bit ever: the crowded

Wednesday, November 21st 7:15 pm (KGP) While trying to get home to his family in Chicago for Thanksgiving, marketing executive Neal Page runs into one disaster after another -- which in-cludes being stuck with insufferable salesman Del Griffith as his unshakable traveling companion.

Saturday, November 24th 7:15 pm (KGP) Wrapped in a classic tale of adventure, this Acad-emy Award winner helmed by John Huston fol-lows a trio of gold prospectors who set out to strike it rich and agree to split the take until para-noia and greed consumes one of them. Delivering superb performances as the three miners are Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt and Walter Huston, who copped a Best Supporting Actor Oscar while son John scored statuettes for his direction and screenplay.

The Greatest Showman 2017—PG—105 minutes—Subtitles

Wednesday, November 28th 7:15 pm (KGP) Behind "The Greatest Show on Earth" was one of history's greatest showmen, P.T. Barnum.

Emera Astronomy Center Outing Solar Superstorms

A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave

that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, ris-ing loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they

affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star. Travel into the tangle of magnetic

fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections. Ex-plore how the Sun influences our lives on Earth in numerous ways in the modern age. The program is narrated by Benedict

Cumberbatch of Star Trek and Dr. Strange fame. Cost is $5
