Greetings from the MV Film Center,
We flutter about this week at the center with great excitement, so so many interesting shows and people joining us for great entertainment. I hope you can too. The BROADWAY DIVAS sang their hearts out last night to a sold out crowd. Tonight its Henry Louis Gates Jr. and LeVar Burton, as they discuss FINDING YOUR ROOTS.
Then Thursday night comedian Jackie Flynn graces our stage for a night of stand-up comedy and mischief. Perhaps you've seen him on Netflix's LOUDERMILK, now see him live at the center.
And two new releases come to our screen. TOUCH based on the international best seller and indy film ALBANY ROAD with cast and director joining us on Monday.
Our top summer film out of the Sundance -- THELMA continues to delight audiences of all ages. Must see Cinema!
Help celebrate the MV Film Society's 25th Anniversary Year, by coming to the Film Center to watch a movie, what else. We've planned many unique programs throughout and we can't wait to share them with you.
Scroll down for all the details.
