Come over to Alif this Friday evening at 7:30 for our FREE movie night! You can also add an optional dinner at 7:00pm.About the movie: Morocco (2019), Dark Comedy/Drama, 1h 40m, English subtitles."In this brilliantly comedic modern fable, debut feature director Alaa Eddine Aljem takes audiences on a deadpan desert caper with a subtle touch of absurdity. A thief has just stolen a considerably large bag of cash. With the cops hot on his heels, he acts quickly and buries his ill-gotten gains atop of a hill in the desert, fashioning a makeshift grave with rocks to help him identify the location later. Upon being released from prison, he returns to the spot only to discover that the local inhabitants have mistaken his hastily constructed hiding place as a miracle grave for a mysterious, albeit completely fictional saint. An impressive shrine now covers the thief’s loot, and to his infinite surprise, there is even a whole new town that has sprung up nearby to support the legions of pilgrims who travel from far and wide to visit the mausoleum. Along with his dim-witted abettor, the thief settles into the village and begins plotting a way to break into the shrine. But with the loot now hidden in a holy place, retrieving it suddenly becomes much more complicated in this farcical and quirky satire on superstitions." –Doha Film Institute

	Main Street Theatre puts on four performances of the Michael Wehrli comedy the weekend of June 26, 27 and 28 at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Tucker. 
	“Our Snow White is a princess for this century!” exclaims director Merle Halliday Westbrook. “She has a mind of her own and a tool belt to assist her with fixing things and facing any challenges that come her way.
	“The play is chock-full of audience participation,” Merle adds. “Who doesn't want a chance to boo and hiss the Evil Queen and cheer the Prince?”
