Event Details BACK

Building on the success of nearly two years of Classic Film Musicals at the Bankhead Theater, Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center will continue them into 2020 and will also add 12 National Theatre Live Encore Screenings. Earlier this year, a new large projection screen was installed at the Bankhead which extends the height and width of the stage and offers an enhanced movie-going experience.

Over the past 10 years, National Theatre Live has brought the best of British theater from more than 20 live stages in the UK to more than 3500 cinema screens around the world. NTL uses state-of-the-art filming techniques, specifically tailored for each play, to provide audiences with a viewpoint as if they were sitting in the best seats in the house. From close-ups that capture every flicker of emotion, to sweeping wide shots of the stage, their goal is to provide audiences with an experience that is the next best thing to actually being there.  For this 10th Anniversary Season, National Theatre Live offered a wide range of productions both Live and Encore.
