The
scene: 1930s Chicago. Johnny Hooker and Henry Gondorff
are small time “grifters”, or con men, who decide to exact
vengeance on a local gangster who ordered a “hit” on a friend.
Hooker and Gondorff set up an elaborate scheme—a sting—to steal
money from the gangster. That’s the storyline for the 1973
box-office hit, The Sting, starring Paul Newman
and Robert Redford, and featuring the Ragtime tunes of composer
Scott Joplin. The Sting, which won seven Academy
Awards, is the theme for St. Catherine’s Center for Children’s
2nd
Annual Golden Age of SCCCript & SCCCreen,
a tribute to Hollywood’s best movies.
The
event—a dinner and dance—will be held on Thursday, April 22 at
5:30 pm at the 11 North Pearl Event Centre in Albany. The
breath-taking art-deco of 11 North Pearl will take guests
back in time to 1930s Chicago, where Johnny Hooker (Robert
Redford) and Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) conducted their famous
sting. Guests are encouraged to wear 1930s period dress, and
will enjoy the swing-era music of the Jump Daddies. As a special
treat, classically trained pianist Curtis Funk will perform
The Sting’s signature tune, Scott Joplin’s The
Entertainer, as well as other popular Ragtime tunes. It is
an event you won’t want to miss!
