A big thanks to everyone who came out to the Fearrington Barn last friday night for the screening of LOOKING FOR MS. LOCKLEAR. Despite a cold, snowy night, a terrific crowd enjoyed a wonderful documentary and the humor and songs of Rhett and Link. Much gratitude to all our ChathamArts volunteers, Fitch Creations and our attendees and supporters who made the evening a memorable event and raised funds for ChathamArts and its arts in education programs.
For those who saw the film and would like to learn more about the Lumbee’s struggle for federal recognition, local author and historian Marjorie Hudson wrote to tell us that “-there are two chapters about that in my book, Searching for Virginia Dare.”
Don’t miss our next ChathamArts Sustainable Cinema event on tuesday February 23, 7:00 at Fearrington. A NEW KIND OF LISTENING is the story of a visionary director, a one-of-a-kind theater group, and a young man who could not speak, yet found the voice he had been looking for all his life. Kenny Dalsheimer’s documentary takes us inside the creative work of the
Community Inclusive Theater Group, as director Richard Reho inspires cast members, some with disabilities, to be writers, actors and dancers in an original collaborative performance. Together they prove that a small community arts project has the power to transform lives. There will be a panel discussion afterwards with the producers, local theater & arts
program directors and disability representatives. Admission at door: $5 adults/$3 for students. More information at http://www.chathamarts.org/programs/sustainablecinema.html
Come see why the Independent Weekly calls the ChathamArts Sustainable Cinema Series “One of the best film-festival ideas to emerge around here.”
