Forgotten Island at the Prospector Theater

Two best friends. A portal. An island full of legends.

On their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble through a mysterious portal onto Nakali, a fantastical island packed with the magical creatures from the Filipino stories they grew up hearing. With a hapless weredog named Raww, voiced by Dave Franco, they have to face the dreaded Manananggal, voiced by Lea Salonga. The catch is that getting home could cost them every memory of their friendship. Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado direct. It runs an hour and 49 minutes.

Showtimes. Thursday at 4:15 and 6:45pm. Friday through Sunday at 1:30, 4:15 and 6:45pm. Monday and Tuesday at 4:15 and 6:45pm. Wednesday, September 30 is Open Caption Day, with captions on screen at 1, 4 and 6:45pm. Thursday, October 1 at 4:30 and 6:45pm. Times can change, so check the showtimes page before you go.

Good to know. Rated PG. Tickets are $15 for adults and $13 for kids 11 and under. The theater suggests arriving 30 minutes early to grab concessions and good seats.

Every ticket does some good. The Prospector is a nonprofit theater built to employ adults with disabilities, who the theater calls Prospects. They greet you and seat you before every show. Closed caption devices and descriptive audio headsets are available at every first-run show.

Make a night of it. The Heads Up Café inside the theater pours coffee, beer and wine, and the ceiling is covered in pennies hand-placed heads up by the Prospects. Downtown Ridgefield's Main Street restaurants are a short walk away.
