LOWELL FIVE MAIN STAGE, National Park Visitor Center: 6 – 8 pm

The Science of Sleep (2006)

Starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Directed by Michel Gondry. Stephan has always been an imaginative dreamer, but when he gets a mind-numbingly boring job, he truly loses himself in his fantasies. Shot in a highly stylized fashion it is hard to tell where reality begins and ends in this imaginative dramedy.

Live Music – Cahill, at Mambo Grill, 7-9 pm

The duo Cahill is comprised of Boston natives Bob Antonelli and Scott O’Brien. As childhood friends, their earliest artistic collaboration began at the ripe age of five. In recent years, Cahill has brought their music and performance up and down the east coast – from obscure coffee houses in upstate New Hampshire and Maine, to collegiate venues in Georgia and Virginia, to the Boston club and bar scene, and their favorite spot in particular: intimate jams in Harvard Square.
