The eight-part “Genius: Aretha,” which will kick off on NatGeo March 21, was celebrated with a virtual event for online guests and media.
The festivities were also beamed in for an invite-only slate of guests at Monroe Street Drive In, the downtown Detroit movie space recently set up by Emagine and Bedrock. Drive-in events were also staged in New York and Los Angeles, along with Atlanta, where the show was filmed.

Josh Inmon, director of Springfield Little Theatre s production of Shout! The Mod Musical.
“Yeah, we opened last night to a great crowd,” said Inmon, who directs the production. “By the end, they were dancing in their seats, and everybody was having fun singing along” while staying socially distanced, of course!
Inmon described “Shout! The Mod Musical” as an off-Broadway show that debuted in 2006. “It s the story of five women who come of age in the 1960s and kind of discover themselves. And you see their journey going along. But the real star of the show is the music, the 60s music that, whether you you were alive in that era or not, everybody loves that music.”
