May is Musical Madness with The Love The Glove Film Series, and we’re kicking it off with the psychedelic nostalgia love story trip, Across the Universe, starring Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess!
Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.
Presented with FREE admission thanks to a generous underwriting by the Perrott, Peck, and Blackmon Families.
