July 13: Hairspray (PG, 117 min) –In 1962 Baltimore there are changes in the air. Plus-sized teen Tracy Turnblad, with big hair and even bigger heart, has only one passion, to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corney Collins Show” and is transformed overnight from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. The trendsetting Tracy aims to win the heart of teen-dream Link Larkin and stand up for what she believes in.

July 20: Grease (PG, 110 min) –It’s love when a greaser falls for a good girl in this classic musical depicting young life in the fifties.

July 27: Into the Woods (PG, 124 min) –A modern twist on several of the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests.
