Hamilton – Free Outdoor Screening

/in , , /by

July 2 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Celebrate America at 250 with a special outdoor screening of the Tony-winning musical Hamilton, by Lin-Manuel Miranda, about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton’s rivalry with Aaron Burr.

“Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and show tunes, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theater–a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. Captured at the Richard Rodgers Theater on Broadway in June 2016, the film transports its audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way.” —The Walt Disney Studios

8:00 PM – Pre-Film Fun: U.S. History Family Trivia Game: Join us before the screening of Hamilton to travel through time and test your knowledge of famous figures, pivotal moments, and surprising stories that shaped our nation. Whether you’re a history buff or just in it for the laughs, it’s a great time to learn, play, and connect together. Prizes, bragging rights, and plenty of patriotic spirit included! 

The film will start at dusk on the Carriage Museum lawn. Bring your blanket and be dazzled by this energetic historical musical under the stars! Rain date is July 9th.

Summer Thursdays & FILM@LIM: Felicity: An American Girl Adventure

/in , , /by

August 13 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

LIM and the Port Jefferson Arts Council bring films to our community that touch upon a variety of topics for FREE! Each film screening includes an engaging talk with a guest speaker or a fun activity.

Based on the American Girl Doll Series of books, Felicity: An American Girl Adventure is a family-friendly film starring a young Shailene Woodley, which follows Felicity Merriman in this coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the impending American Revolution.

Ten-year-old Felicity Merriman is growing up in Williamsburg, Virginia, just before the American Revolution. High-spirited and independent, Felicity decides to tame a wild horse owned by an abusive leather maker/tanner, Jiggy Nye. Even though her parents Martha and Edward forbid her, she runs off to be with the horse, whom she names Penny. She eventually tames Penny and the two become fast friends. Meanwhile, tension grows between the colonists. Some, including Edward and his apprentice Ben Davidson, wish for independence from King George III of England. Others, like Felicity’s grandfather and her best friend Elizabeth Cole’s family, remain loyal to the king. (WIKIPEDIA)

Check back for updates on speakers and other related updates for this event!

This screening will take place in the Gillespie Room located in the Carriage Museum.
