THE FINEST HOURS
With author Casey Sherman
NOW PLAYING
DISCLOSURE DAY
Fri 6/12 - Thurs 6/25
10:00am • 1:30pm • 4:45pm • 8:00pm
PG-13 | 2h 25m | Sci Fi
Steven Spielberg has spent a career teaching us to look up at the stars in wonder. With Disclosure Day, he asks us to look up with certainty.
More than twenty years after War of the Worlds and nearly fifty years after Close Encounters, Spielberg returns to the question that has fascinated him for a lifetime: what if we discovered we aren't alone?
When evidence of extraterrestrial life begins to surface, a meteorologist (Emily Blunt) and a cybersecurity expert (Josh O'Connor) find themselves at the center of a mystery that could change humanity forever.
This is Spielberg's most ambitious and emotionally resonant work in years. And, in many ways, a departure for a master storyteller so adept at guiding audiences toward a specific feeling or conclusion. Here, Spielberg has genuine existential questions to ask—and not all of them are meant to have answers.
OBSESSION
Fri 6/19 - Thurs 6/25
11:00am • 2:00pm • 5:00pm • 8:30pm
R | 1h 48m | Psychological Horror
When a little indie horror film dominates the box office, beating out tent pole movies like Star Wars, it demands to be noticed. And this is a movie that doesn’t just demand it. It deserves it. Shot on a modest budget by first-time filmmaker (and longtime social media creator) Curry Barker, Obsession is a lethal combination of mirth and menace.
When socially awkward Bear makes a wish that the girl he's pined over will love him more than anyone else in the world, he gets exactly what he asked for. What follows is a deeply unsettling examination of moral drift and the steep cost of tampering with free will.
That basic setup might seem familiar—the idea of a wish gone bad is hardly new—but I can't think of another film that pushes the premise so relentlessly to its logical conclusion. The film is drenched in tension, punctuated by startling plot turns and bursts of explosive violence. But it's the aftershocks that make Obsession unique—not the scares, not the blood—the horror that follows you home.
Obsession announces Barker not merely as an expert horror craftsman, but as a vibrant new voice in cinema.

THE HAND THAT HOLDS THE LINE
PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE CAPE COD COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN’S ALLIANCE
Thursday, June 25 SOLD OUT
6:00 p.m.
Fishermen live a life that’s deeply connected to nature, shaped by the rhythm of the tides, the temperament of the sea, and the unpredictability of the catch. Their work is both physically demanding and emotionally rewarding, often driven more by passion than profit.
The Hand That Holds The Line, a new documentary by Geoff C. Bassett and Kim Roderiques, shines a light on Cape Cod fishermen who have devoted their lives to one of the most challenging and dangerous professions in the world.

THE BOUNDLESS TIDE OF LEGACY
LIFE BEYOND THE HORIZON
A KIM RODERIQUES EVENT
WITH SPECIAL GUEST
SEBASTIAN JUNGER
Thursday, July 16
5:30 p.m.
The Chatham Orpheum hosts this special evening honoring the life of Jada Samitt whose life was tragically lost at sea this year aboard the Lily Jean in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Special guest Sebastian Junger, the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of THE PERFECT STORM, FIRE, A DEATH IN BELMONT, WAR, TRIBE, FREEDOM and IN MY TIME OF DYING, will speak about writing The Perfect Storm, sharing the stories of the broader fishing community and the extraordinary resilience of those who face the risks and realities of the ocean every day.
Jada Samitt was a passionate environmentalist who graduated from UVM in May 2025 with a degree in Natural Resources from the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources. Shortly after graduation, Jada relocated to Massachusetts, where she began work as a fisheries observer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, dedicating her early career to protecting marine resources and supporting sustainable fisheries.
Her story touched so many people because it reflects both the beauty and the danger of life at sea. Proceeds from this event will benefit the The Jada Fund a scholarship at the University of Vermont. This fund was established to celebrate Jada’s life and legacy by supporting the future Rubenstein students pursuing experiences in Jada’s spirit of adventure, growth, and bravery. In this way, Jada’s legacy will not only be remembered — it will be lived.
Other guests include:
Julie Guild, mother of Jada Samitt
Dean Peter Newman from UVM Rubenstein School Of Environmental Studies
Aubrey Church, former Northeast Fisheries Observer
Isabeau Miller, songwriter, educator, and Chair of Songwriting at Berklee School of Music
Izaak Van Der Wende emerging theater director and actor
and, Dani Davis, Emmy Award–winning writer, Tony-nominated Broadway producer and director.

Support Your Local Nonprofit Theater!
The people who invested in restoring the Chatham Orpheum Theater didn’t just save a building. They helped create a place where memories are made.
They gave children their first movie on the big screen. They created a gathering place for seniors, families, and neighbors. They made sensory-friendly screenings possible for audience members who experience the world a little differently. They gave local non-profits a stage to raise both awareness and support for causes that matter.
They also helped bring great art to Chatham — from beloved classics and independent films to documentaries celebrating some of the greatest artists who ever lived.
And perhaps most importantly, they gave independent filmmakers a home.
A place for bold, personal stories that might never play in a multiplex. A place where artists can connect directly with an audience. A place where someone’s years of hard work can end with a standing ovation.
Because of you, the marquee is still lit.
If you’ve supported the Orpheum before, thank you — deeply and sincerely. And if you’re considering your first gift, know that it reaches somewhere real. It creates opportunities, strengthens community, and helps ensure that this nearly century-old theater continues to inspire future generations.
