BLUE VALLEY TIMES
JANUARY 19, 2016
A Special Screening of ‘Labyrinth’
to Celebrate David Bowie’s Life
By Lorna O’Farrell
STROUDSBURG - On January 10, 2016, the world lost one of the most influential,
and talented musicians to grace the industry, when David Bowie passed away at the
age of 69, after an 18 month battle with liver cancer. Rather than mourn his death, the
Sherman Theater has decided to honor and celebrate him, by putting one of his most
memorable works, the movie Labyrinth, up on the big screen, once more.
Labyrinth, which has become quite the cult classic, was released in 1986, and was
created by some of the biggest names in movies. Jim Henson, master of puppetry,
was the Director, and Lucasfilm, the product of George Lucas, and the masterminds
behind the Star Wars Saga, produced the film. David Bowie, who
was already a huge name in music at the time, played a lead role in
Labyrinth, Jareth, the Goblin King. The role was an iconic one, and
Bowie, was asked personally by Henson to play the role. Henson sent
a handwritten note to Bowie with the script, stating that he “would be
wonderful in this film”. The actual note is framed, and on display at
The Art Gallary of Ontario. Playing opposite Bowie, was youngster
Jennifer Connoly. She had spent most of her childhood doing modeling and acting. She was 14 when she started filming Labyrinth, in
which she played 15 year old Sarah, who was looking for her baby
brother in the Labyrinth. Since his passing, she has issued a statement saying “I met David Bowie when I was 14, and he became a
hero to me … I’d never met such an extraordinary artist before, and I
haven’t since — the world will be a grayer place without him”.
Because it is one of his most memorable performances, the Sherman Theater will be playing Labyrinth on the big screen on Saturday,
