Maybe This Year
Apr

7:30 PM19:30

Maybe This Year

“Maybe This Year” is the story of the Philadelphia Eagles’ improbable 2017 Super Bowl-winning season – as seen from the perspective of some of the team’s most die-hard fans. Follow Shirley (who will attend this screening), Barry, and Jesse as they navigate the challenges of life with their one constant — their love of the Philadelphia Eagles and the sport of football.

This film offers an intimate and nuanced view of the NFL’s most notorious fan base and casts a humanizing light on just what it means to be a “fan” of anything. This film isn’t about the Super Bowl, it’s about the religion of fandom.

Following the screening, Shirley A. Dash from the documentary will be available to take questions. Shirley is a loving mother and grandmother who is also a passionate Eagles fan. People may know her as EagleShirley, or one of the many famous callers from Philadelphia’s Sports Radio 94.1, or as the originator and instructor of her “Football 101, Do’s and Don’ts for the Ladies” classes. Although Shirley is passionate about her sports and a champion of equality and inclusion, she is also an Information Technology professional, and Adjunct Professor teaching IT and security courses part time.

Tickets are available online or at the theatre's box office 30 minutes before the screening. Cost is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $6 for theatre members.

All seating is general admission.

How Do I Get Tickets?

Tickets are available online only starting Friday, November 1. These screenings sell out in advance, and tickets will not be available at the door.

Do I need a ticket for my infant/toddler?

Yes. All guests, including babes in arms, must have a ticket.

If you can't attend, you're welcome to give your tickets to someone else. The name on the ticket does not have to match the person using it.

I didn't receive an email with my tickets.

First, check your junk or spam folder in your email inbox. If you don't see your tickets there 12 hours after purchasing, try to retrieve them here.

"Purple Rain" Fundraiser with A Love for Life

"Purple Rain" Fundraiser with A Love for Life

A Love for Life and the historic Newtown Theatre are teaming up to show 1984’s classic “Purple Rain” as a fundraiser for pancreatic cancer research on Thursday, November 21 at 7:30 PM.

“Purple Rain” is rated R - must be at least 18 to attend.

For a donation of $20, this special evening will include a screening of the film, one free purple alcoholic drink (non-alcoholic option for those 18-20 years old), and other special surprises. One hundred percent of money raised will support pancreatic cancer research at Penn Medicine.

Purple is the color for pancreatic cancer awareness, and November 21 is World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day.

Founded in 2012, A Love for Life is a non-profit organization that has raised more than $1 million for pancreatic cancer research at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The average survival rate for stage IV pancreatic cancer is a little over six months, and A Love for Life is determined to change that.

Released 40 years ago this year, “Purple Rain” tells the story of The Kid (Prince), a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, The Revolution. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father, The Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia.

DETAILS

  • Doors open at 7 PM and the film starts at 7:30 PM.

  • For this special fundraiser screening, tickets are purchased by making a donation to A Love for Life. They can be purchased only through the link above or at the door on the night of the event.

  • All tickets are general admission.
