Events for Wednesday May 10, 2023
Film Screening: Gatsby In Connecticut: The Untold Story, PSRC
A Film Screening with Director, Robert Steven Williams (Hybrid – In-Person at NSK Location and on Zoom) F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, has become synonymous with the lifestyle of the rich and famous on Long Island. But what if that connection is false? The argument that the real West and East Egg can be found on the other side of Long Island Sound is brilliantly argued in the 2020 documentary, Gatsby In Connecticut: The Untold Story. Featuring Sam Waterston and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), the documentary was selected by The New Yorker as one of the best movies of 2020. This program will include a post-screening discussion with the award-winning director, Robert Steven Williams, with a wine and cheese reception to follow. Registration required, no fee. Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story is presented in partnership with the AARP-NJ and PSRC. Register at https://princetonsenior.link/GatsbyFilmScreening

Blues for an Alabama Sky, McCarter Theater
May 6 - May 28 In a Depression-era Harlem apartment building, a close-knit group of friends has become a chosen family. New roommates Angel and Guy — a recently fired blues singer and a promising costume designer with Paris in his sights — live across the hall from Delia, a social worker who sparks a relationship with the hardworking doctor Sam. Their lives are upturned when a Southern newcomer Leland arrives and falls hard for Angel, who is torn between a stable life in New York City and an exhilarating overseas adventure with Guy. Angel chooses her path, but the decision leads to devastating consequences that shift the trajectory of everyone’s futures and long-held dreams.
