'Monsters University" Movie at Capitol Rescheduled for August 27

‘The Maltese Falcon’ to be Screened This Wednesday in West Capitol Park

The free screening of “Monsters University,” originally scheduled for August 19, has been rescheduled for Thursday, August 27 at 8 p.m. in West Capital Park in Albany. Those attending the movies should come prepared with their own chair or blanket, event officials said. “Monsters University” will take moviegoers on a trip back in time on August 19 to when star Monsters, Inc. employees Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (voice of John Goodman) were just two promising young students at Monsters University in this frightfully fun Disney/Pixar prequel. At 8 p.m. this Wednesday, August 26, the “The Maltese Falcon” will be the featured free Capitol Park After Dark move. Humphrey Bogart achieved true stardom as Sam Spade, a hard-boiled San Francisco private eye who can be as unscrupulous as the next guy but also adheres to his own personal code of honor. Into the offices of the Spade & Archer detective agency sweeps a Miss Wonderly (Mary Astor), who offers a large retainer to Sam and his partner Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan) if they'll protect her from someone named Floyd Thursby. A vendor selling ice cream will be on site for Capitol Park After Dark, and the rain location will be meeting room six inside the Empire State Plaza Convention Center.

Free parking in the East Garage on Philip Street off Madison Avenue is available after 5 p.m. Sponsors include Stewart’s, AllOverAlbany.com, Saratoga Spring Water Co., Metroland, Holiday Inn Express, Albany.com, 99.5 The River.
