OF THE YEAR AWARD</p>
<p>Paramount Pictures to release<br>
<i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i> on June 28, 2024</p>

</center>
<p>WASHINGTON D.C. and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (March 14, 2024) – Joseph Quinn will receive this year’s <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>® Breakthrough Performer of the Year Award, Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, announced today. <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, the official convention of <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, the official convention of <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a>, will be held April 8-11, 2024, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Quinn will be presented with this special honor at the Big Screen Achievement Awards ceremony taking place on the evening of Thursday, April 11, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and hosted by official presenting sponsor The Coca-Cola Company.</p>
<p>“With two major tentpoles on the horizon in 2024 alone, with <i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i> and <i>Gladiator 2</i>, Joseph Quinn’s star is more on the rise than anyone could have anticipated,” noted Neuhauser. “And, Quinn, who really turned heads with his important role in <i>Stranger Things</i>, is set to become one of <i>The Fantastic Four</i>, it was just announced. Certainly, receiving the 2024 Breakthrough Performer of the Year award from <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a> is a most timely and well-deserved accolade.”</p>
<p>Quinn can be seen this summer starring in <i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i>, releasing in theaters nationwide on June 28, 2024. The film is produced by Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller and John Krasinski and executive produced by Allyson Seeger and Vicki Dee Rock. Directed by Michael Sarnoski, who also wrote the screenplay, with a story by John Krasinski and Michael Sarnoski and based on characters created by Bryan Woods & Scott Beck, <i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i> also stars Lupita Nyong’o, Alex Wolff and Djimon Hounsou, as they experience the day the world went quiet.</p>
<p>Born and raised in London, Quinn began his career shortly after graduating from LAMDA when he landed a role on the BBC series <i>Dickensian</i>. He went on to star in BBC’s <i>Howards End</i> and <i>Les Misérables</i>, the Sky Original/HBO series <i>Catherine the Great</i> opposite Dame Helen Mirren. Most recently, Quinn starred as fan favorite Eddie Munson in the mega-hit Netflix series <i>Stranger Things</i>.</p>
<p>On stage, Quinn has performed in <i>Wish List</i> at the Royal Court Theatre, and in the critically acclaimed <i>Mosquitos</i> at the National Theatre alongside Olivia Colman and Olivia Williams.</p>
<p>On the big screen, Quinn starred in the debut feature from acclaimed filmmaker Claire Oakley, <i>Make Up</i>. He will next be seen in the British independent film <i>Hoard</i> from debut feature director Luna Carmoon. In addition to his starring role in <i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i>, Quinn has also joined the cast of the highly anticipated Gladiator sequel, he will star as Johnny Storm in Marvel Studios’ <i>Fantastic Four</i> and will play the lead in Bret Easton Ellis’ horror film <i>Relapse</i>.</p>

<p>AMY POEHLER TO RECEIVE<br>
<a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CINEMACON</a>® VANGUARD AWARD</p>
<p>Disney and Pixar's <i>Inside Out 2</i><br>
opens only in theatres on June 14, 2024</p>
</span>
</center>
<p>WASHINGTON D.C. and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (February 28, 2024) – Amy Poehler will receive this year’s <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>® Vanguard Award, Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, announced today. <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, the official convention of <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a>, will be held April 8-11, 2024, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Poehler will be presented with this special honor at the Big Screen Achievement Awards ceremony taking place on the evening of Thursday, April 11, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and hosted by official presenting sponsor The Coca-Cola Company.</p>
<p>“Amy Poehler, in a most distinguished career, has been entertaining people on the big screen for over 20 years”, noted Neuhauser. “She is one of the most versatile, recognizable, and talented performers of our generation who simply brings joy, happiness, and a smile to our faces with each new role. In 2015, we showcased Inside Out for the global exhibition community here at <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, and now, we can’t wait to see what new ground Amy and her fellow Emotions cover in the eagerly anticipated <i>Inside Out 2</i>. We are honored to present her with this year’s <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a> Vanguard Award.”</p>
<p>Poehler will return this summer as the voice of Joy in Disney and Pixar’s <i>Inside Out 2</i>, releasing only in theaters on June 14, 2024. <i>Inside Out 2</i> sees the return to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone. Maya Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety along with a voice cast that includes Lewis Black, Phyllis Smith, Tony Hale, and Liza Lapira. <i>Inside Out 2</i> is directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen.</p>
<p>Best known for her starring role in the Emmy-nominated comedy series <i>Parks and Recreation</i>, Poehler began her career studying improv in Chicago, where she eventually co-founded the sketch/improv troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade. She then joined the cast of <i>Saturday Night Live</i>, where she became the first-ever cast member to receive an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series,” earning this nomination two years in a row. Following her success on <i>SNL</i>, Poehler went on to star as Leslie Knope on <i>Parks and Recreation</i> — a role which earned her a Golden Globe Award, an American Comedy Award, a Gracie Award, and six consecutive Emmy nominations, along with two additional Golden Globe nominations and three Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for her work on the show.</p>
<p>Poehler’s film credits include <i>The House</i>, <i>Sisters</i>, <i>Wet Hot American Summer</i>, <i>They Came Together</i>, <i>A.C.O.D.</i>, <i>Free Birds</i>, <i>Are You Here</i>, <i>Baby Mama</i>, <i>Blades of Glory</i>, and <i>Mean Girls</i>. In addition to lending her voice to the character of Joy in <i>Inside Out</i>, Poehler can be heard in <i>Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel</i>, <i>Monsters vs. Aliens</i>, <i>Horton Hears a Who!</i>, and <i>Shrek the Third</i>. She also made her directorial debut in the Netflix comedy <i>Wine Country</i> and directed Netflix’s <i>Moxie</i> as well as Amazon’s documentary <i>Lucy & Desi</i>.</p>
<p>She is also the founder of Paper Kite Productions, a full-service entertainment company that produces content for traditional and non-linear platforms. Through Paper Kite, Poehler has produced several projects, including the upcoming film <i>First Time Female Director</i>, Peacock’s <i>Baking It</i> and <i>The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning</i>, Amazon’s <i>Harlem</i>, the Award-winning Netflix series <i>Russian Doll</i>, Adult Swim’s <i>Three Busy Debras</i>, Fox’s animated series <i>Duncanville</i>, and NBC’s <i>Making It</i>. In addition, Paper Kite recently launched Paper Kite Podcasts in partnership with Cadence 13 and Audacy.</p>
<p>Outside her film and television work, she released the New York Times Best Seller <i>Yes Please</i>, returned to <i>SNL</i> for an Emmy award-winning performance co-hosting alongside Tina Fey, and co-hosted the Golden Globe Awards. She also continues to produce the award-winning online website “Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls” and in the Spring of 2023, kicked off the Restless Leg Tour comedy show with Tina Fey.</p>

<p>LUPITA NYONG’O TO RECEIVE
<a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CINEMACON</a>® STAR OF THE YEAR AWARD</p>
<p>Paramount Pictures to release<br>
<i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i> on June 28, 2024</p>
</span>
</center>
<p>WASHINGTON D.C. and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (February 14, 2024) – Lupita Nyong’o will receive this year’s <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>® Star of the Year Award, Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, announced today. <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, the official convention of <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a>, will be held April 8-11, 2024, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Nyong’o will be presented with this special honor at the Big Screen Achievement Awards ceremony taking place on the evening of Thursday, April 11, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and hosted by official presenting sponsor The Coca-Cola Company.</p>
<p>“In just over ten years, Lupita Nyong’o has established herself as one of the most talented and respected actors of our time,” noted Neuhauser. “From her Oscar winning role in <i>12 Years a Slave</i> to her most chilling and determined performance in <i>Us</i>, she never fails to surprise, captivate and engross us with each new role she undertakes. Lupita Nyong’o is recognized around the world for being a star of the highest magnitude, and <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a> and the global exhibition community are honored to recognize her as its 2024 Star of the Year.”</p>
<p>Nyong’o can be seen this summer starring in <i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i>, releasing in theaters nationwide on June 28, 2024. Produced in association with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes and Sunday Night Production, the film is executive produced by Allyson Seeger and Vicki Dee Rock, alongside producers Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, and John Krasinski. Written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, <i>A Quiet Place: Day One</i> also stars Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, and Djimon Hounsou, as they experience the day the world went quiet.</p>
<p>Kenyan actress, producer and New York Times Bestselling author, Nyong’o made her feature film debut in the Academy Award® winning film <i>12 Years a Slave</i> for which she received the Academy Award®, the Screen Actors Guild® Award, the Critics’ Choice Award, the Independent Spirit Award and the NAACP Image Award. Additional film credits include <i>Black Panther</i>, <i>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</i>, <i>Us</i>, <i>Little Monsters</i>, <i>Queen of Katwe</i>, <i>Star Wars: The Force Awakens</i> and <i>The 355</i>. She served as an executive producer for Sudanese director Mohamed Kordofani’s feature debut, <i>Goodbye Julia</i>, the first-ever Sudanese feature to screen at the Cannes Film Festival, which was selected by the country to be its second-ever Academy Awards submission for Best International film.</p>
<p>In addition to a successful career on the big screen, Nyong’o earned a Tony® nomination for her Broadway debut in <i>Eclipsed</i>, won an Emmy® Award for the narration of her New York Times best-selling children’s book <i>Sulwe</i>, and executive produces the family program <i>Super Sema</i>, which is now in its third season. Nyong’o can also be heard narrating Discovery’s docuseries <i>Serengeti</i>, for which she has earned two Emmy® award nominations, and she will host a podcast centered on non-fiction cultural storytelling from the African diaspora.</p>

<p>Given the original source film's ubiquity every holiday season (thanks to TBS and TNT) and a heightened profile thanks to a Fox live telecast production in 2017, to say nothing of the wide acclaim and Tony nominations its Broadway run received no less than ten years ago, it had been a bit perplexing to me that <i>A Christmas Story: The Musical</i> still has not had quite carved out the nationwide profile that some other holiday season shows have enjoyed, for instance <i>How the Grinch Stole Christmas</i>, <i>White Christmas</i>, and even the more recent <i>Elf: The Musical</i>. The key phrase there is "had been," for <a href="//centertheatregroup.org" target="_blank">Center Theatre Group</a>'s production now playing at the Ahmanson Theatre shows why it has not been widely mounted: this titanically theatrical (in every sense) take on such a modest film is a big, bold extravaganza that only an ambitious theater company has any prayer of doing justice -- and <a href="//centertheatregroup.org" target="_blank">Center Theatre Group</a> has passed the considerable challenge with flying, festive colors.</p>
<p>The humble nature of the source material is initially reflected on the stage first by the snow globe-styled custom curtain and proscenium, and then the entrance of the evening's narrator, author Jean Shepherd (Chris Carsten), who takes a seat at a microphone for a radio show and sets the scene of a reminiscence of an especially eventful holiday season in 1940s Indiana. But once the curtain rises for the big opening number "It All Comes Down to Christmas," director Matt Lenz (who has also helmed a seasonal touring production of the show that has run for most of the last ten years) blares big Broadway buoyancy, all the more fitting given its depiction of the hustle and bustle of the holiday shopping frenzy. Even once the focus closes in on our protagonists, the Parker family, namely 9-year-old Ralphie (Kai Edgar, who powerfully displays quite the set of lungs), the action shifts to a most impressively detailed two-level home replica, the first of many extravagant yet practical sets from scenic designer Walt Spangler.</p>
<p>"Extravagant yet practical" actually works as a nutshell description for the entirety of the show as a whole as it skillfully balances stage production pizazz with more substantive issues of story and, above all, character. As with the film, while Ralphie's Christmas wish for a BB gun is the central concern, Joseph Robinette's book unfolds in a largely episodic manner, with the run time filled with various vignettes involving Ralphie, his younger brother Randy (Henry Witcher, their mother (Sabrina Sloan), and their father (Eric Peterson), somewhat affectionately referred to as The Old Man. The natural chemistry between the actors is a massive two-fold benefit. Their rapport not only convincingly sell÷ the family relationship(s) but also the everyday, almost mundane, relatable authenticity of these low stakes yet childhood-memorable incidents: Ralphie absent-mindedly uttering a curse word in front of his father; a classmate getting his tongue stuck on a flagpole; and so forth. It all feels like an intimate peek into one's wistful memories, even within such a heightened context.</p>
<p>....and do the proceedings ever get heightened. The opening number is just a warm-up for the even more elaborate, quite surprisingly so, numbers that later follow, both in their sheer scale and the showtuney grandiosity of this early score from now-stage-and-screen sensations Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. (So far removed from their now-trademark, now-familar contemporary pop sound is this score that I thought there had to have been a composing collaborator here; not so.) But as huge -- and hugely choreographed, by Warren Carlyle -- as these numbers get, they are firmly rooted in the characters and, crucially, their personal perspectives. "Ralphie to the Rescue," set during a classroom daydream in which he visualizes all the big adventures he'll have while armed with his object of desire, brims with the over-the-top make believe of a child during a play date. Even more over-the-top is "A Major Award," The Old Man's ode to the infamous leg lamp that adorns the show's key art. The idea that such a booby prize can be considered by anyone to be, well, a major award is absurd, and accordingly, Lenz and Carlyle run with it (leg lamp kick line, anyone?). But underlying the ridiculousness is The Old Man's genuine giddiness at winning <i>something</i> for the first time in his life, and so it all somehow rings true. Perhaps the biggest showstopper of them all is what at first looks like a throwaway, when the oft-repeated adult response to Ralphie's Christmas wish -- "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out" -- is musicalized in most spectacular fashion. Led by Ralphie's teacher Miss Shields and backed by an insanely talented troupe of tap dancing kids (no doubt another obstacle that keeps the show from being produced more widely), the jazzy, mob speakeasy-style setting may glancingly seem to be a go-big-or-go-home stretch, but it reflects Ralphie's overblown yet kid-appropriate frustrations. When it comes to him getting his coveted Red Ryder BB gun, he feels as if it's him against the world, a little guy at the mercy of one intimidating, all-controlling syndicate that brashly rubs -- or, rather, taps? -- it in his face.</p>
<p>But for all those massively showy scenes, the overwhelming feeling walking out of <i>A Christmas Story: The Musical</i> is borne from its gentle sentiment. A sense and sensation of heart should be central to any family-targeted Christmas story, and even with all its considerable bells and whistles, this production never loses sight of that.</p>

<p><i><a href="//twusa.org/dog-man-23-24/" target="_blank">Dog Man: The Musical</a></i> is a project that would be easy to dismiss out of hand. A stage musical adaptation of Dav Pilkey's enormously popular children's book series, it is all too easy to write off as a crass IP cash grab -- and, if only glancing at images of <a href="//twusa.org" target="blank">TheatreWorksUSA</a>'s touring production, the fairly modest production values would appear to reinforce that notion. But as with many things, context is key, and simplicity is not only by design, but also why the show works as well as it does: it is, quite simply, <i>fun</i>.</p>
<p>That simplicity manifests right upon entrance into the theatre, with the set by scenic designer Timothy R. Mackabee. A cardboard-heavy approximation of the interior of a treehouse, it sets the stage (puns not intended) for not only the overall do-it-yourself vibe of the aesthetic, but also squarely within the mindset and perspective of its main characters: fifth graders George (Marcus Phillips, coming straight off his impressive work in East West Players' powerful production of <i>Spring Awakening</i>) and Harold (Max Torrez). In addition to being best friends, they are also creative partners, having written and drawn the ongoing comic book exploitss of superhero Captain Underpants (itself a successful book and multimedia franchise by Pilkey) and, yes, the titular canine-human hybrid cop, Dog Man. The premise of the adaptation by librettist/lyricist Kevin Del Aguila and composer Brad Alexander is at once inspired and, yes, simple. George and Harold decide to take their art to the next step by turning one of their <i>Dog Man</i> adventures, <i>A Tale of Two Kitties</i>, into a musical.</p>
<p>That is, in fact, the name of one of Pilkey's actual books, and <i><a href="//twusa.org/dog-man-23-24/" target="_blank">Dog Man: The Musical</a></i> follows its original plotline to the letter. After a brief recap of the character's origin (accident leaves a cop and his K-9 partner to be merged into one literally dog-headed man after an experimental lives-saving surgery -- just go with it), Dog Man (Brian Owen) must protect the city from evil cat Petey's (Bryan Daniel Porter) latest scheme, which involves him creating a clone of himself (L.R. Davidson); but in addition to these two kitties is another looming threat, that of nefarious fish Flippy (Chadaé Nichol). </p>
<p>Yes, it's all very silly, but quite willfully so -- more than simply being primarily targeted at theatergoers around the same age as George and Harold, Del Aguila, Alexander, and director/choreographer Jen Wineman quite vividly place theatergoers of all ages into that boundless, anything goes space of tween-age imagination. The "cheap"-looking DIY aesthetic from the makeshift set pieces, props, costumes (by Heidi Leigh Hanson), and masks is very much in line with what a show put on my 10-year-olds would actually look like. But, more importantly, <i><a href="//twusa.org/dog-man-23-24/" target="_blank">Dog Man: The Musical</a></i> is in line with what such a show would <i>feel</i> like, and that's to the massive credit of the energy and exuberance of the gifted and crazily hard working cast of six. They seamlessly shuffle between their primary characters and places in the ensemble, always tirelessly giving their all to their comedic characterizations, Wineman's inventive choreography, and Del Aguila and Alexander's tuneful songs. It is in the latter where it is the adults in the audience will have a something a bit more savor than the kids, with the meta conceit allowing Del Aguila to add witty, knowing references to musical theater to go along with the broader gags.</p>
<p>But one does not need to be grown up to appreciate the infectiously catchy score, and chances are people of all ages, <i>Dog Man</i> fan or newcomer, walking out of theater after its brisk 90-minute runtime will do so singing -- either in their heads or aloud -- the earworm that is the anthemic "Dog Man" theme song. <i><a href="//twusa.org/dog-man-23-24/" target="_blank">Dog Man: The Musical</a></i> may ultimately be "just" a breezy family entertainer, but that it feels so effortless is a testament to the substantial talent, thought, and craft that brought it to theatrical life.</p>

<p>WASHINGTON D.C. and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (November 29, 2023) – The <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO)</a> will honor Chris Johnson, CEO of <a href="//classiccinemas.com" target="_blank">Classic Cinemas</a>, with the 2024 N<a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a> Marquee Award during next year’s <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, announced today. <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>, the official convention of <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a>, will be held April 8-11, 2024, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Johnson is being recognized by <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a> for his unequalled dedication, commitment, and service to the motion picture theatre industry. He will receive the industry’s highest tribute as part of <a href="//cinemacon.com" target="_blank">CinemaCon</a>'s “State of the Industry” program on Tuesday, April 9.</p>
<p>“Chris Johnson embodies everything that is great about the exhibition industry,” said <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a> CEO Michael O’Leary. “Proudly carrying on the tradition of his family, Chris is a leader in our industry. Always focused on what the movie going public wants, Chris is smart, innovative, and passionate about movies on the big screen. His voice is respected by his colleagues in exhibition and the motion picture industry overall. I always value his perspective and can think of no one more deserving of this honor. Congratulations to Chris and his family.”</p>
<p>When told he would be receiving this honor, Johnson remarked, “I love this industry, and I’m humbled to be selected for this prestigious award.” Johnson has dedicated the past 40+ years to exhibition, from a teenage usher’s first movie, <i>Star Trek: The Motion Picture</i>, to CEO. His hands-on approach includes a willingness to listen, ask questions, and respectfully share his opinion for the betterment of the industry. “My goal is to elevate moviegoing and the cinema business for everyone.”</p>
<p>Johnson currently serves as CEO of the family-run <a href="//classiccinemas.com" target="_blank">Classic Cinemas</a>, where he began his career at the Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove, IL. While earning his BA from the University of Illinois and his MBA from the University of Chicago, Johnson took on various roles in the company, from usher to assistant manager, manager, concessions manager, and operations manager, before ultimately being named Vice President in 1992 and CEO in 2014. Founded in 1978 by the Johnson family, <a href="//classiccinemas.com" target="_blank">Classic Cinemas</a> is the largest Illinois-based theatre chain with 137 screens in 16 locations. Many of <a href="//classiccinemas.com" target="_blank">Classic Cinemas</a>’ locations are historic downtown theatres, having undergone renovations that honor the buildings’ character while seamlessly integrating the latest technology.</p>
<p>In addition to serving as the President of <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a> Illinois, Johnson also currently serves on <a href="//natoonline.org" target="_blank">NATO</a>’s Executive Board, Technology Committee, Regional Restructuring Task Force, Bylaws Committee and is the former Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. Most recently, in honor of the history of <a href="//classiccinemas.com" target="_blank">Classic Cinemas</a>, Johnson was inducted into The Erik Lomis ShowEast Hall of Fame Class of 2023 along with his mother Shirley and his late father Willis, who passed away this past August.</p>
