Description: “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

Director: Joel Coen

Writers: Homer (epic poem "The Odyssey"), Ethan Coen

Release Date: 22 December 2000 (USA)

Genre: Comedy

Plot: Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", set in the deep south during the
1930's. In it, three escaped convicts search for hidden treasure while a
relentless lawman pursues them.

Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in
Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill busts
loose. Except he's still shackled to his two chain-mates from the chain
gang -- bad-tempered Pete and sweet, dimwitted Delmar.

With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain -- before it's lost
forever in a flood -- the three embark on the adventure of a lifetime in
this hilarious offbeat road picture. Populated with strange characters,
including a blind prophet, sexy sirens and a one-eyed Bible salesman,
it's an odyssey filled with chases, close calls, near misses and
betrayal that will leave you laughing at every outrageous and surprising
twist and turn.

Awards: Nominated for 2 Oscars. Another 6 wins & 29 nominations.

Rated PG-13 for some violence and language.

Runtime: 106 min

ABOUT THE MUSIC:

Hand Made Organ of John Prtljaga

The Organ was started by John in 1990 and continues to be modified to
play Old Time Dutch and German Folk Songs, Polkas, and Waltzes. It has
75 Keys and started out as a Wurlitzer 65 Organ. The Case is made of oak
and now has the design of an old fashioned Dutch Street Organ. This will
be the 3rd year John has made his appearance with this personally
crafted instrument.

WENIGER AND SIMON: http://home.roadrunner.com/~johnywen/

Weniger and Simon have been playing to audiences around North East Ohio
since 1985, with our unique blend of styles and sounds, we like to call
"Eclectic Electric Folk-Age Music." The majority of our music comes from
the past twenty five years of pop and folk music, augmented by a
substantial number of original compositions.

Instrumentation includes guitars, keyboard, harmonicas, synthesizers,
recorder and pedal steel. We have performed in some of the larger
bookstores, such as Borders and Booksellers, at weddings and receptions,
and on restaurant patios of Gamekeepers Tavern, The Timberfire, Chagtown
Cafe, Fishers in Peninsula and The Old Whedon Grille in Hudson. We have
also performed at The Mustard Seed in Fairlawn and in Solon, The Zephyr
and the old Brady's Cafe both located in Kent. Don't forget the
Riverfront Coffee Mill located in both downtown Cuyahoga Falls as well
as the new location in Green.

John Weniger has been playing music in churches, restaurants, bands and
bars for over 30 years, ten of which as the leader of the "The John
Weniger Band". His talent of composing music and lyric, as well as the
clear warmth of his vocals, has only grown in popularity through the years.

Gerry Simon has been performing in bands in Ohio, California, the Virgin
Islands, and Florida since 1968, ranging from jug, blues, country, folk,
and rock and roll. His bands have shared billing with acts as diverse as
Loretta Lynn and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe
Walsh, and The New Riders of the Purple Sage.

CLEAR CHOICE QUARTET:

Clear Choice is a barbershop Quartet singing throughout the Ohio area,
based in Akron. Dan, Ray, Jim and Bill are all members of the Akron
Derbytown Chorus and have over thirty years of singing experience
between them.

Downtown Kent Historical Highlights:

CITY BANK ANTIQUES: http://www.citybankantiques.com/

In August 1995, Don and Karen Barrett opened City Bank Antiques in the
original, 1911 City Bank Building in Kent, Ohio. Don is an expert in the
repair of American pocket watches. It was inevitable that their hobby
would someday develop into a business, which Karen, a former librarian,
now manages. Their store offers a variety of antique clocks as diverse
as cuckoo and school house regulators to grandfather clocks and pinwheel
regulators. The Barretts are proud to be official Chelsea Clock dealers,
the “timekeepers of the sea” and the last great American clock company.

In September 2005, Don and Karen showcased their expanded shop which now
encompasses the entire original City Bank Building and occupies more
than 1850 square feet of first floor retail space. When it comes to
antique pocket watches, City Bank Antiques is one of the largest
retailers in the state.

The Kent Historical Society: http://www.kentohiohistory.org

The Role of the Kent Historical Society

The role of our historical society in the community has grown over the
years. We now bring educational programs to schools, businesses, and
civic organizations, as well as collaborate with community groups on
projects such as the preservation of our historic Pioneer Cemetery, the
Main Street Kent revitalization program, and historic preservation
projects in the community.
We are dedicated to documenting Kent history through artifacts, records,
and documents from the people of our community, our living history.
