[Reel Pizza] SCHEDULE May 22 - June 11

Happy Memorial Day weekend, last weeks of school and Graduation, and Summer, if only at the movies!

This is a complete schedule, so there are dates and showtimes for all the films listed. The schedule is in brief to start (after all the miscellaneous info) and then in full with descriptions and trailer links after.

SOMETHING NEW! We are now able to receive orders for takeout (only) thru a new online service. Link thru our facebook webpage or the Reel Pizza website. Complimentary Android and Apple Apps for your device will be coming soon! (I will let you know when that happens.) Options include ordering in advance, and ordering with friends but paying separately! Pickup will be quick and easy because the order is already paid for. And remember that it will always remain a choice to call us with your order, or to order directly at the counter, especially after 9pm when the service turns off. (And PLEASE let us know if you find any glitches so we can fix.)

NEW ART IN THE LOBBY (starting Friday May 29)
MONA PEARL Brooksville, ME
"I see art all around us.  I'm fascinated by the infinite beauty in nature – its patterns and unique playful asymmetric expressions.  In my photography I strive to find the light that will shine through and illuminate a part of nature you might not see.  I've worn many hats over the years and lived in many places.  I am a mom, grandma, partner and friend – the family and people in my life truly inspire me and are precious lights in my life.  I've lived in over 30 places I could count as home, starting out in New Jersey and growing up in Israel, with strong ties to New York, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, settling down now in beautiful Brooksville, Maine.  Somewhere along the way my passion to learn emerged, and I have degrees in all different fields from New York University, Pace University, Auburn University and National Defense University.  I love to take care of people and am a nurse with specialties in hospice, critical care, trauma, and military flight nursing.  Recently retired from the Air Force after 22 years of service and a three-time cancer survivor, I currently am a Professor at University of Colorado College of Nursing developing a new clinical specialty of Veteran and Military Health Care.  My dream is to someday have a working studio and fully indulge my artistic endeavors in photography, metalsmithing, stone-setting, dichroic glass, and three-dimensional beadwork to create more beauty and reflection in this world."

COMING SOON!

LATE NIGHT FUN Back for the Season, it's IMPROVISION!!
So Wrong for all the Right reasons Check out our occasional, wacky collaboration with the talented ImprovAcadia crew! With the sound turned off, this ever-changing group of up and coming comedians improvise the dialogue, music tracks and sound effects to a cheesy, grade B movie, THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! Their talents make the pictures on the screen way funnier than they were ever anticipated. It's a totally new show every time. Don't miss out on all the fun.

Seems like only yesterday, but it was actually 20 years ago, on Friday June 9th, 1995, that we showed our first film and served our first pizza. A LOT has changed over the past two decades, but not our commitment to providing a (nearly) year-round cozy space for meeting and eating. We are deeply grateful to our friends, neighbors and seasonal guests who have supported us through thick and thin, allowing us to do something we truly enjoy so that we could raise our family in one of the best places anywhere. We do our best to return that, and look forward to the future with enthusiasm and excitement. Cheers!

Most Sincerely, Lisa and Chris
