“Minions”: The Merriam Webster dictionary defines “minion” as “someone who is not powerful or important and who obeys the orders of a powerful leader or boss.” In the “Despicable Me” movies minions were represented as loveable yellow creatures played to such successful comic effect that now the minions are starring in their own film. Narrated by Geoffrey Rush, “Minions” features the voice talents of Pierre Coffin, Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney and Steve Coogan. Plays through Thursday, July 23, at 7 p.m.; Sunday, July 19, at 2 and 7 p.m.
