Live music, movies and more coming up in Greenbelt and nearby towns – all Prince Georges Proud – over the next 10 days.

Friday, May 20

At the New Deal Cafe

The Skyla Burrell Band – with a perfect whiskey-soaked-with-honey voice and a blazing electric guitar, Skyla Burrell leads her full time, hard workin’ band through high energy offerings of Blues that range from jumping, jazzy and swinging to rockin’ Memphis soul and smoldering straight-up Chicago that’s sure to raise the roof and incite some full-tilt boogie! (8 to 11pm)

At the Old Greenbelt Theatre


“Downton Abbey: A New Era” opens! 5 and 8 pm in the Main Auditorium. Cast: Michelle Dockery, Maggie Smith, Allen Leech, Tuppence Middleton. The beloved Crawleys and their intrepid staff prepare for the most important moment of their lives. A royal visit from the king and queen of England soon unleashes scandal, romance and intrigue — leaving the future of Downton hanging in the balance.

 

“The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”opens. 5:30 and 8:30 in the Screening Room.  Nicolas Cage stars in the action-comedy. Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, the fictionalized version of Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan (Pedro Pascal). Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative (Tiffany Haddish) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage.
