Located in Merchants Square, the Kimball Theatre is home to current films and live performances. On any given day, you might see a Colonial Williamsburg interpreter portray Patrick Henry or enjoy a jazz ensemble of talented students from the College of William and Mary. Perhaps the Peninsula's Jewish Film Festival is in town, or maybe you'll see players performing an 18th-century Grand Medley of Entertainments. Whatever your tastes, the Kimball Theatre is at the center of Williamsburg's community activities. Creative programming alliances with the College of William and Mary, community organizations, and Colonial Williamsburg link our past with the present.

Today at the Kimball Theatre:
In Bruges
May 09, 2008 6:45 PM
Fri., May 9–Wed., May 14
Shows at 6:45 and 8:45 p.m.
Rated: R
Academy Award-winning writer/director Martin McDonagh makes his feature directorial debut with his own original screenplay. Bruges is the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, and for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) it could be their final destination. They have been ordered to remain there by their boss (Ralph Fiennes), but they’re very much out of place. The longer they stay, the more surreal their experience becomes. May 9–10, 12–13 screening room. 107 mins.

Paranoid Park
May 09, 2008 7:00 PM
Mon., May 5–Fri., May 9
Shows at 7 and 9 p.m.
Rated: R
Director Gus Van Sant continues to plough his furrow far from Hollywood, on the mean streets of his hometown of Portland. This tale, set in the skateboarding culture, continues his recent theme of youthful alienation. As with Elephant, Van Sant uses an amateur cast with Gabe Nevins playing Alex, a teenage skateboarder who accidentally kills a security guard and decides to say nothing about it. Van Sant’s belief that all teenagers at that age are “acting to a certain extent” lends the film its edge of raw authenticity. Based on the novel by Blake Nelson. Winner of the 60th Anniversary Prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and the Producers Award at the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards. May 5–8 screening room. 84 mins.
