The Tryon Fine Arts Center will be presenting a full season of British comedies and capers in the auditorium on the first Tuesday of each month, starting in October and continuing through May.

The season will open on Oct. 6 with the boisterous heist comedy involving diamonds, goldfish and a hint of Monty Python, “A Fish called Wanda.”

Next up on Nov. 3 is a romantic comedy with a twist, “Once Upon A Time in The Midlands,” starring Robert Carlyle and Rhys Ifans.

On Dec. 1, “Love Actually,” a gentle comedy in a holiday setting, starring Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson and a host of others, will air.

“The Italian Job” starts off the New Year on Jan. 5, 2016 with the 1969 comic caper starring Michael Caine, Noel Coward and Benny Hill.

On Feb. 2, the 1972 mystery thriller “Sleuth” is up on the big screen, starring Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier, both of whom were nominated for an Oscar for their performance.

Moving across the Irish Sea is the uproarious comedy, “Waking Ned Devine” starring Ian Bannon, David Kelly and Fionula Flanagan, scheduled for March 1.

Next is the 1997 creative antidote to unemployment, set in the industrial North of England, “The Full Monty,” starring Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy and Tom Wilkinson, showing April 5.

The final film in the series, on May 3, is the 1949 comic caper, “Whisky Galore,” set in Scotland. This will also include the season’s gala prior to the film.

In keeping with the tradition established in previous series, each film will be informally introduced by a knowledgeable movie enthusiast and audiences are encouraged to come early and gather around the bar before the screening.

Each of these films will be shown at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month, October through May, at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. The Box Office opens at 6:30 for concessions and cartoons will air before each show. For more information keep checking these pages in the Bulletin, call 828-859-8322, or visit tryonarts.org.
