Uptown! to Open Theater on Monday for Free Viewing of New Documentary on Civil Rights Hero

By

On Monday, July 13 at 7 PM, Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center is opening its doors to the public for its first indoor event since the mandated shutdown in March – a screening of John Lewis: Good Trouble, a new documentary on the civil rights hero and U.S. Congressman.

Although the film was completed before the current Black Lives Matter movement, it allows the viewer to reflect on today’s events and the importance of Lewis’s work.

As a performing arts organization with diverse voices, Uptown! is committed to its mission to promote cultural, economic, and civic life experiences in the community through live theater, music, dance, and film.

Immediately following the feature, there will be a pre-recorded discussion between Lewis and Oprah Winfrey, filmed last month and being made available exclusively for virtual cinema and in-theater engagements of the film. This is a wide-ranging, informal, 16-minute conversation that’s a perfect follow-up to the documentary.

Space is limited. To secure seating, you must reserve your tickets by clicking here. Two tickets per household.

Masks must be worn at all times throughout the theater.
