"What They Had" Film next Friday at Stocker
by Allison Jack 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Just a friendly reminder about next week's film in the Stocker Arts Center's Film Series on the Lorain County Community College campus. Films are featured on Fridays at 7:30 p.m. in the Hoke Theatre. What They Had Friday, March 29, 7:30 p.m. 2018 (R) 101 min. USA Director: Elizabeth Chomko Cast: Hilary Swank, Michael Shannon, Blythe Danner, Robert Forster Ruth has been married for more than 50 years to Burt. They live in a condo in Chicago. Their happy life is changing almost daily as she moves into the later stages of Alzheimer's disease. Nick, her single son who cares deeply about his mother, believes it is time for the family to put her in a memory care facility. At his urging, his sister Bridget comes in from Los Angeles, accompanied by her daughter Emma, who has been kicked out of her college dorm for drinking; mother and daughter are not communicating well. Nor does Bridget really know her brother. He resents that she has her parents' power of attorney even though he has been doing the lion's share of caregiving for them. When Nick asks his father why he does not have the power to make decisions, Burt says that he is irresponsible and has only been able to land a job as a bartender. In fact, Nick owns a bar. The family all want the best for Ruth and must come to terms with what it means to let go of the woman, wife, mother, and grandmother they once knew. For Burt, it is all about commitment. He refuses to give up his role as primary caregiver Tickets for films are $7 each. The Stocker Box Office is open Monday through Friday from noon to 6 p.m. and 90 minutes prior to ticketed events.

ABOUT THE EVENT "[Full Circle Storytelling] was super awesome! Who knew that talking...in front of a crowd would leave me absolutely walking on air? I hadn’t picked up a mic in more years than I can recall, and have been seriously slacking on writing. It was fantastic to shake the dust off them both. Thank you, Wandering Aesthetics!" – Gwyneddh Jones Open to all, Full Circle Storytelling events revolve around a prompt and the idea: everyone has a story. Sign up to tell a true story inspired by the evening’s prompt or just come to enjoy the evening! (No experience necessary.) Co-hosted by Wandering Aesthetics, Jilly's Music Room and The Akronist, this intimate evening of storytelling will conjure the spirit of community. Stories range from heart wrenching to hysterical – and everywhere in-between! A Life Less Ordinary "Have you ever felt like you're not in control of your life?" – A Life Less Ordinary Life is inexplicable, unpredictable...and absolutely beyond our control. How many of us have stared out a window wondering: What now? What next? We never know what providence will send our way. Let tonight's Full Circle Storytelling take you away from everyday life, and live life louder, prouder and less ordinary. Are you ready? Inspired By: Meghan Meeker
