The movie, "Angels in America," originally planned for Friday April 18th, is unavailable.  Instead, we'll be showing the award-winning movie, "Holiday Heart."

Ving Rhames stars as Holly Heart, a kindhearted choirmaster who moonlights as a female impersonator in this television drama directed by Robert Townsend and based on the stage play by Cheryl L. West.
