The film tells the myriad stories and sounds of American choral singers and leaders — stories that inspire, build community, foster hope, and showcase the tremendous social capital and community building of singing together. America sings in schools, in communities, in concert halls, on the streets, in houses of worship, in prisons, in hospice centers, and wherever hearts are moved to join in song. RESERVE TICKETS!

- Feb 66:30 PMFilm: “Shelter in Solitude” (2023)Val (Siobhan Fallon Hogan) still aspires after a long time of aspiring to be a country music singer. With the onset of the pandemic and the stages of her small town's bars shuttered, she pivots to work as a prison guard alongside her brother/warden (Robert Patrick). She slowly develops a caring relationship with Jackson Marcus (Peter Macon), who is incarcerated and facing execution. Shot in the hometown of Siobhan Fallon Hogan (Saturday Night Live, Forrest Gump, Seinfeld, Holes, Men in Black), Shelter in Solitude highlights how we perform for others, how we care for others, and how we bond with others even when isolation is forced upon us.

- Feb 69:30 PMFilm: “Babygirl” (2024)Following the success of her last film, Bodies Bodies Bodies, writer/director Halina Reijn said she was inspired to make a film like 9½ Weeks but from the female's perspective. The spirit of 1980s and 1990s erotic thrillers with an updated sensibility and humanity comes through in Babygirl, which won numerous accolades including Best Actress for Nicole Kidman at the Venice Film Festival. The film follows a high-powered CEO (Kidman) of an empty-box business who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern. GET TICKETS
