Rookie Of The Year with Henry Rowengarter himself, Thomas Ian Nicholas. Thomas will join us for this unique screening opportunity including a Q&A following the film.

A freak accident causes 12-year-old Little League player Henry (Thomas Ian Nicholas) to become such a powerful and accurate pitcher that the Chicago Cubs sign the junior high student to a contract. Unprepared for such a high-pressure environment, Henry falters until aging fastballer Chet Steadman (Gary Busey) takes him under his wing and teaches him how to play in the big leagues. Meanwhile, his mother's venal boyfriend (Bruce Altman) tries to sell Henry's contract to a hated opposing team.

THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS

By 18 he had recurring roles on hit TV shows like Party of Five and the role of "Kevin Myers" in the extremely successful American Pie franchise.

  all ages (17+ suggested)


Born to a single mother, Trevor Thomas aka Seckond Chaynce and his two siblings were raised in an area plagued by drugs and violence in Jacksonville, Florida. Early on Trevor's musical interest, talent and gifts were obvious. His mother was very protective and attempted to shield and shelter her children from the negative activities that were prevalent in the neighborhood. However, upon reaching his teen years, he began to be influenced by the neighborhood trap stars, Hip Hop Rappers & family members he idolized, who touted the rewards of the drug dealing, fast money lifestyle.

After dropping out of school he devoted more time pursuing his musical passion and aspirations. Finally two years later he made the music industry connection that would catapult his career. Just as he was about to ink a deal with a major record label, things fell apart and the deal was never consummated. This forced him to move back to Tampa. There he discovered his mother was homeless and living with a relative. Trevor decided that the only short term option to remedy the situation was to return to drug dealing. His long term plan was to try to obtain his GED, but after several attempts he abandoned that effort.

Realizing that his lifestyle would ultimately lead to his ruin-be it incarceration or death, Trevor realized that what he was missing wasn't the GED but GOD. That day Seckond Chaynce was born (again). Serving, worshiping, and spreading the uncompromising TRUTH of GOD and HIS word is Seckond Chaynce’s life's purpose. He serves not only on Sunday mornings, but each and every day of his life. Chaynce has felt the HOLY GHOST and its’ power of transformation.

"Gomes is a power player who is at his best when his gear is in the scorched earth between blues and rock. After all, it's the electric guitar; sometimes tickling it is not enough." - Guitar World

With a guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes electrifies blues and rock at a 21st century crossroads of his own. The Canadian vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and producer wails with all the force of a hurricane in the Mississippi Delta and enough fret-burning fireworks to leave his strings in flames.

Over the years, he's toppled the Billboard Blues Chart at #1, earned the endorsement of legends such as B.B. King, tallied tens of millions of streams, and packed shows on multiple continents. In 2022, he makes his Rat Pak Records debut with High Voltage Blues, amplifying his soul and spirit like never before.

Looking for an actual 21st Century guitar hero? Here he is.

America's most debaucherous rapper, Rob Apollo, is championing his own brand of mischievous alt-rap for the digital age. Hailing from Detroit but raised by the internet, Apollo's unique ability to bridge rap culture, internet humor, and inclusive politics has made him the torchbearer for progressive shenanigans. Sonically, Apollo's tracks are usually upbeat with hard- knocking 808s, often combining Detroit-trap drum patterns with dancy synth melodies. In March 2024, Apollo's provocative lyrics delivered him a #1 Charting TikTok song with his track "Seppuku", a devious and head-banging anthem about how broke people should jump off a bridge as penance. This viral moment exemplifies the captivating nature of Apollo's music; by combining outlandish references with hard bars and beats, Rob Apollo tracks have an addictive quality that leaves you wondering: 'did he really just say that?'.

  all ages


For almost four decades XTC fans could only dream of witnessing the sensational XTC classic songbook played live. That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer Terry Chambers is back on the road with his band EXTC (named and approved by XTC frontman, Andy Partridge).

Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. The band put their hometown of Swindon UK on the map. They achieved huge success in North America and Japan. Sadly their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring becoming a studio-based entity.Fast forward to 2017 Terry returned to the UK from Australia and reconnected with XTC bandmate Colin Moulding. The two would go on to collaborate on new venture TC&I releasing an EP and live album.

Sadly the project was short-lived with TC&I disbanding in early 2019. By now the flame inside Terry had been reignited. His time with TC&I made him realise he wanted to continue doing what he does best. His love and passion for playing music and performing live gave him the idea for his new project EXTC.

Born in early 2019 EXTC would set out to achieve its goals of performing to audiences who had waited so long to hear the EXTC back catalogue performed live only to be bought to a standstill in 2020 due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.Terry was keen to get on the road with EXTC with a tour of the United States scheduled for autumn 2020. Unfortunately this would be postponed due to covid restrictions still in place the tour being rescheduled for the following year.

The band eventually began gigging again in 2021 with sold-out dates around the UK. This would include the Isle of Wight Festival and gigs in Terry Chambers and XTC’s hometown of Swindon. The band would go on to do further successful tours of the United States and Canada with EXTC also heading to Japan in early 2023.EXTC has kept much of the original fan base from XTC’s glory days of the late 70s and early 80s as well as gaining a new following of fans in their own right. Enthusiastic fans have lapped up the chance to see Terry and EXTC perform all those classics live once more.Alongside Terry the EXTC line-up features frontman Steve Hampton (lead vocals & guitar – Joe Jackson, The Vapors and Dead Crow Road) and Terry Lines (bass & vocals – The Rams and Dead Crow Road).

Originally a four-piece EXTC band members have changed frequently over recent years. EXTC announced in November 2022 that they are now moving forward as a three-piece. Terry Steve and Terry will bring you the full EXTC experience with their mesmerising and engaging live performances as you relive the heyday of XTC. With new material already in the works EXTC is a band on an upward trajectory. With their popularity gaining momentum and international tour schedules increasing it is clear the sky is the limit for Terry Chambers and EXTC!

  all ages


Nashville based soul artist Jeb Harrelson has found a way to fuse sounds of Soul, Rock and R&B. Music connects and he carries that into the center of his work, leaving both a euphoric and familiar presence. While he's independently released 12 songs in the last three years, he is working on a debut project right now. All of his music is recorded in house with his brother Hank as the audio engineer.

Being from Texarkana, Arkansas instilled a drive to hone in on his craft though the lack of music scene caused him to move where he could really express his artistic message which took him to Fayetteville, Arkansas. This is where he cut his teeth in the Northwest Arkansas music scene. Now living in Nashville since January 2020, Jed is independently touring the country with his band in a gold van called "The Loaf".

Born and raised in the Midwest, she calls Indianapolis her home. The haunting undertones of her vocals and the affliction in her delivery makes you believe in her pain. Coming out of addiction and starting her journey in recovery, Kara Cole gives credit to the music for saving her. It gave her a place to land and bleed out her feelings that she long ran from. Kara’s vocal are free and flowing and personal and emotional. You can't hear her thinking which is hard to find these days. There's an authentic pleading in her voice and her lyrics that work masterfully to glue her songs together with great production and players and a familiar quality to Kara's voice that is reminiscent of Emmylou Harris's Red Dirt Girl record yet is uniquely her own. She is excited to give you her heart and let you see inside her walls!
