Wonder Woman soars into the Rheem Theatre with a preview screening at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 1. "Wonder Woman" is one of the most anticipated blockbuster movies of the summer and you can see it early before it opens nationwide on Friday.

Before she was Wonder Woman she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained warrior. When a pilot crashes and tells of conflicts in the outside world, she leaves to fight a war to end all wars, discovering her full powers and true destiny.

Do not miss this preview screening at the Rheem in their luxury VIP seats.

After a sold-out show on May 20, magician and illusionist Timothy James will return to the Rheem Theatre - back by popular demand - this Saturday, June 3 for two shows. The first show will be at 6 p.m and is kid-friendly. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for children under 18 years of age.

The 8 p.m. performance will be a PG13-style show which will be a little more edgy but still appropriate for teens. Against the advice of his lawyer, James will fool your pants off! Get ready for a magic show like you have never seen. His Vegas style amazed the sold-out audience on May 20 with rave reviews from all. The show is fun for the whole family and you do not need to fly to Las Vegas. Get your tickets early before they are sold out. Tickets can be purchased online at www.lamorindatheatres.com or at the Rheem Theatre box-office.

"Grease" is the word at the Orinda Theatre monthly Free Movie Night at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 8. "Grease," a 1978 box-office blockbuster, is a musical that takes place in California. During the summer of 1959, two teens, Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) have a summer vacation romance. But the summer fling must end when school begins. Upon returning to school neither realizes that they are both attending Rydell High. Danny's the leader of the T-Birds, a group of black leather jacket-wearing greasers while Sandy hangs with the Pink Ladies, a group of pink-wearing girls led by Rizzo (Stockard Channing). When they clash at Rydell's first pep rally, Danny isn't the same Danny from the beach. Sandy and Danny both try to make changes so they can be together. "Grease" was nominated in 1979 for five Golden Globes and one Academy Award (Best Music, Original Song - John Farrar for the song "Hopelessly Devoted to You").

Although "Grease" did not win a Golden Globe or an Oscar, it did win the 1979 People's Choice Award for Favorite Overall Motion Picture. Grease is still a favorite today 39 years later. The Orinda Theatre will be having a costume contest that evening so come dressed as your favorite "Grease" character and win fabulous prizes.
