Aftermath: A Newtown Screening and Community Conversation

Aftermath: A Newtown Screening and Community Conversation offers an opportunity for reflection and conversation about the impact of gun violence on public health. The event features a screening of the documentary Newtown followed by a panel discussion with the film’s director, Kim Snyder, as well as public health experts, school staff and clergy from the Twin Cities community.

This free event is the first “Happening” of the Guthrie’s 2017-2018 Season. “Happenings” are periodic and timely events that may include conversations, town hall meetings, salons, dance parties, performances and readings that are responsive to current events and are immediately relevant to the world around us. These “happening” events are part of the Guthrie’s Level Nine Series, conceptualized by Haj and supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, emphasizing the creation of a theater that wrestles with urgent questions and inspires dynamic dialogue with its audience, expands the diversity of voices, visions and styles on its stages and engages community members currently underserved by its work.

Tickets are free, but reservations are required through the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224, toll-free 877-44-STAGE, or online at guthrietheater.org. Due to limited capacity, there is a two ticket limit per person.
