Goonies at River Flicks for Kids
FreeNYC Event Flyer Date: Friday, August 8th
Time: Dusk (around 8 or 8:30)
Location: Pier 46 (Charles St. and the Hudson River)
Cost: Free
The folks over at Hudson River Park keep calling this River Flicks for Kids, but we're really into a bunch of these movies, so either the films are also for grown ups, or we're just into kid stuff. Tonight's kid flick is the best kid's adventure movie ever, The Goonies! Besides getting to watch movies outside on beautiful summer nights on the Hudson River, the other thing I like about River Flicks is that the popcorn is always free. Seating is first come, first served, so you and your little ones may want to show up early.

Twelve Ophelias at McCarren Park Pool
FreeNYC Event Flyer Date: Thursday, August 8th
Time: 8:00pm
Location: McCarren Park Pool (Lorimer Street and Bayard Street, W'burg)
Cost: Free but tickets can be reserved here
The Brooklyn-based theater company, Woodshed Collective presents Caridad Svich's Twelve Ophelias for free at McCarren Park Pool. "Twelve Ophelias centers on Hamlet's Ophelia coming back to life, out of the water, to try to overcome her history and forge a new destiny for herself. She finds herself in an Appalachian Elsinore, Denmark by way of Deliverance—where Gertrude runs a brothel, Hamlet and Horatio slum it, and nothing is what it seems. In this squarely American and gritty interpretation of the Hamlet myth, Twelve Ophelias asks how it is possible to break old cycles and start afresh when the past so completely permeates your life." Shows continue Wednesday and Friday this week as well as dates through August

Last week was the African music festival and this week Celebrate Brookly takes on Latin music.
