First Friday Free Film: “Soul.” Pixar Animation Studios’ feature film “Soul” introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to “The Great Before” – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions. 6:30 p.m. Friday, at the Capitol Theatre at the Appell Center. Free.

Come sing and dance along to tunes such as “867-5309 (Jenny)”, “Closing Time,” “Tubthumping,” “My Sharona,” and more.

Film Appreciation: Two of a kind. “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.” Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges play the title characters who are thrown together and pursue an adventurous life of crime together. Clint was number one at the box office and allowed Michael Cimino to direct his own script, but Jeff Bridges stole the movie with his energetic performance and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Cimino’s directorial debut captures the essence of the early 70’s pessimism and the beauty of Big Sky country. 3 p.m. Saturday, at the West Classroom at the Appell Center. Series $75.

York Symphony’s A Night at the Oscars. Cinematic soundtrack treasures will be performed live from the Strand Theatre Stage.

CapLive: Sons of Cream. Kofi Baker and Malcolm Bruce both have deep roots going back to the birth of the 60s British Blues R&B Rock Explosion. Here they honor the incredible legacy of their fathers, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, in an exciting show featuring the music of Cream and beyond. But this isn’t your typical tribute act. These men have a unique multidimensional pedigree. It is purely second nature as they dive inside the music, bringing it alive, like a living organism, like a second skin, all constantly morphing into something new. They have big shoes to fill. And through some kind of genetic imprint, and intuitive sense, they arrive at the true heart of what Cream’s music stands for, truly making it their own. 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Capitol Theatre at the Appell Center. Tickets start at $33.80.
