Four siblings. One will. With any luck, they won’t kill each other.
All families are mad … not least the Canavans. “Horseshoe” is a dramatic comedy with a twist set in the wild West of Ireland.
When Colm, the head of the family, dies, there are few who mourn his passing, not even his four estranged adult children. But the legalities of his will must be observed and more than one Canavan sibling is harboring secrets.
As the Canavans return to the family home, the fate of the family unit, their sanity and the Canavan estate all hang in the balance.
“Horseshoe” blends razor-sharp dialogue with raw emotional depth, with a cast that delivers powerful performances, including Carolyn Bracken, Lalor Roddy, John Connors, Mary Murray, Jed Murray, Neill Fleming, Eric O’Brien and Caroline Harvey.
“Horseshoe” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre May 8-13. Showtimes will be Friday, May 8 at 3:00 p.m.; Sunday and Wednesday, May 10 and 13 at 4:00 p.m.; and Monday and Tuesday, May 11 and 12 at 7:00 p.m.

Two Pianos
2026-05-08 - 2026-05-15 | Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre, 2030 W. S.R. 89A, Sedona, AZ, 86336, United States
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Two Pianos” showing May 8-14 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
After years of self-imposed exile, pianist Mathias (François Civil) returns to France, where his former mentor, Eléna (Charlotte Rampling), has invited him to perform a series of concerts with her in his hometown of Lyon. Once a rising star of the French musical scene and Eléna’s prized pupil, Mathias has spent many years teaching and performing in Japan.
Soon after his arrival, a chance encounter with a child who looks just like him throws Mathias into turmoil, threatening to drag him down, and leads him back to his first love, Claude (Nadia Tereszkiewicz).
French master Arnaud Desplechin returns to some of his favorite themes – psychologically charged homecomings and unexpected reunions (romantic and otherwise) – in this sensual, Hitchcockian melodrama featuring one of Rampling’s most delicious roles in years.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Life is Life” showing May 9-14 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
At the turn of the new millennium, on an unspoiled stretch of coast in southern Sardinia, Efisio Mulas, a solitary shepherd and custodian of times seemingly long past, defends his land from Giacomo, a developer determined to turn it into a luxury resort.
The foreman at the site, Mariano, tries to convince Efisio to sell, while his daughter Francesca is torn between her attachment to her roots and the urgent need for change that grips her community. When the dispute winds up in court, a local judge from the area, Giovanna, finds herself deciding the case.
“‘Life is Life’ is not only the story of a man who had the courage to say no. It is also the tale, based on a real-life case, of a community in our country forced to choose between respecting the land and giving people employment,” said director Riccardo Milani. “It is in stories like this that I seek out the humanity that is hidden in each of us, still.”
“Life is Life” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre May 9-14. Showtimes will be Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, May 9, 11, 12 and 14 at 4:00 p.m.; and Wednesday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m.
