It’s set-up as one of four acclaimed short documentaries. Please choose a screening and let me know when you’ll be there. I’ll be there at least a few of the evenings (I have a surprise birthday party for a very special 9 y/o on one of the nights so I won’t be there every night).
Please email this message to friends and help pack the theater every night.
