    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theatres around the world to present the theatrical premiere of “Carole King: Home Again — Live in Central Park” showing Jan. 20-26 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “Carole King: Home Again — Live in Central Park” presents musical icon Carole King’s triumphant May 26, 1973 homecoming concert on The Great Lawn of New York City’s Central Park before an estimated audience of 100,000.

    “Carole King: Home Again — Live in Central Park” presents musical icon Carole King’s triumphant May 26, 1973 homecoming concert on The Great Lawn of New York City’s Central Park before an estimated audience of 100,000. The film presents the complete multi-camera 16mm footage filmed and recorded by Lou Adler in 1973 but never before released.

    Alongside the complete performance footage is the behind the scenes story of King’s remarkable transformation from an in-demand, staff songwriter beloved for such timeless Goffin and King classics as “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” to an iconic artist in her own right. The May 1973 performance captured King at her critical and commercial peak, basking in the enormous popularity of her definitive album Tapestry.

    New interviews with King, Adler, Ron Delsener and legendary Woodstock and Monterey Pop lighting and stage manager Chip Monck set the scene for her extraordinary performance. To the delight of the audience, King moved easily between her signature classics and songs from her soon to be released 1973 album Fantasy. King rarely performed in concert during this era despite the enormous commercial success she had enjoyed. However, on this special occasion, she presented her performance in two parts — first alone, on piano and then fronting a powerhouse 11 piece band.

    The resulting film, “Carole King: Home Again — Live in Central Park” provides an inside view of a generational talent in her prime, performing one of the biggest and most momentous concerts of her career in the city where she was born.

    “Tapestry had become such a huge hit, and I really wanted to give something back to the people,” remembers King. “When I first walked on stage, in Central Park, in front of the Great Lawn, and it’s full of people…it was kind of terrifying for a minute. Then the crowd began to cheer and it was like a wave coming toward me. There was just so much love. It was too much to take in but I realized all I had to do was sit down and start playing. They were there to hear me. I knew how to deliver, and that’s what I sat down to do.”

    “Carole King: Home Again — Live in Central Park” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Jan. 20-26. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 20, 21, and 22; and 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 24, 25 and 26.

    Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
