For 65 years, THE SOUND OF MUSIC has been one of our “favorite things.” With its timeless story and irresistibly charming score, this Rodgers & Hammerstein classic isn’t just meant to be enjoyed – it’s meant to be shared. Now, a critically acclaimed North American tour brings the cherished musical to stages across the country to teach a new generation to sing. Directed by three-time Tony Award® winner Jack O’Brien ("Hairspray"), this vibrant and romantic tale of Maria and the von Trapp family will captivate audiences with its universal themes of love, resilience and the power of music. Featuring beloved songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Edelweiss,” THE SOUND OF MUSIC is the iconic tale of a spirited nun who chooses not to live behind closed doors – and, by following her heart, learns to climb every mountain. THE SOUND OF MUSIC features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, suggested by The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp. 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the Oscar®-winning film, which continues to be one of the most successful movie musicals of all time.

Hoobastank cemented their place in modern rock with a run of radio-dominating, sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs hits—and they’re enjoying a major resurgence with fans old and new. Their era-defining anthem “The Reason” has officially joined Spotify’s Billions Club (now well beyond the 1B mark) and the song’s iconic music video has also crossed one billion views on YouTube—proof that the track still hits just as hard two decades later. The band first broke through with their 2001 self-titled debut, featuring platinum-certified staples like “Crawling in the Dark,” “Running Away,” and “Remember Me,” before skyrocketing with their sophomore album "The Reason", which turned them into a household name. In recent years, “The Reason” has found fresh life through viral moments and major TV placements—driving the song back up charts and introducing Hoobastank’s catalog to a whole new generation. With millions of monthly listeners and a setlist stacked with hits, Hoobastank’s live show is equal parts nostalgia, catharsis, and full-volume rock energy.

Like an "I Spy" book come to life, DROWNING BY NUMBERS, Peter Greenaway’s visually arresting, cheeky crime film about the power women hold in their marriages, comes to DGC Video on Tuesday, April 21 at 7 p.m. With the reluctant help of the resident coroner, three generations of women with the same name —Cissie Colpitts— conspire to drown their husbands. It’s a spectacle that demands to be experienced on the big screen. The numbers 1 through 100 appear hidden in the frames over the course of the film. Can you spot them all? Cissie Colpitts (Joan Plowright) drowns her cheating husband and in the ensuing cover-up enlists the help of lonely coroner Henry Madgett (Bernard Hill), an old friend with a longstanding weakness for her charms. But when Cissie’s daughter (Juliet Stevenson) and granddaughter (Joely Richardson) both decide to resort to the same methods for solving conflicts with their own frustrating husbands, the Colpitts women and their repeated appeals for help begin to wear on Madgett’s conscience.
