The Starlite Drive-In has been a great option for watching movies on the big screen this past year, and tomorrow is a special Art House at the Drive-In screening presented by mama.film and Wichita Jazz Festival.
At 8:30 p.m., catch Mary Lou Williams: The Lady Who Swings The Band, profiling the jazz pianist, composer and innovator. The screening also includes a filmmaker Q&A with the film’s director, hosted by KMUW’s Carla Eckels. Details are at mama.film.
Like many annual events, the Society of Professional Journalists’ presentation of Gridiron took a hiatus last year, but it makes its triumphant return this Friday and Saturday. The original stage production stars local media professionals poking fun at the year’s news and newsmakers. Most importantly, it raises funds for journalism scholarships.
