City of Dreadful Night at The Sherry Theatre

The Sherry Theatre is breaking out the popcorn and dimming the lights for a trip back in time to the dark, gritty world of film noir blended with the urban despair of an Edward Hopper painting. Inspired by the crime dramas of the 1940s and the characters in Nighthawks, Hopper's iconic painting, City of Dreadful Night takes place just after World War II, when a small-time New York crook's paranoia reaches the breaking point. Convinced that his girlfriend Anna might be hiding something from him, he gets a friend to tail her, and this leads all three into a dangerous entanglement as secrets begin to emerge from the shadows. This JEFF-recommended tale of mystery, suspense and romance will have you on the edge of your seat. It's a rich and stylish tribute to the classic films of Hollywood's heyday, performed by Collaborative Artists Ensemble Staff.
