Palmeri to facilitate discussion of "All The President's Men" at Oshkosh Grand Opera House

Mark Your Calendars:

UW Oshkosh Division of Continuing Education and Extension and the Grand Opera House are proud to present the following movies:

KISS ME KATE: Thursday, December 29th at 7:00pm
Fred and Lilly are a divorced pair of actors who are brought together by Cole Porter who has written a musical version of "The Taming of the Shrew." A fight on the opening night threatens the production, as well as two thugs who have the mistaken idea that Fred owes their boss money and insist on staying next to him all night.

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN: Thursday, January 5th at 7:00pm
Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are perfectly matched as (respectively) Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, whose investigation into the Watergate scandal set the stage for President Richard Nixon's eventual resignation. Their bestselling exposé was brilliantly adapted by screenwriter William Goldman, and director Alan Pakula crafted the film into one of the most intelligent and involving of the 1970s paranoid thrillers. Featuring Jason Robards in his Oscar-winning role as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, All the President's Men is the film against which all other journalism movies must be measured. A special facilitated discussion will be held following the movie by Dr. Tony Palmeri, UW Oshkosh Communication Department.

Tickets are $4.00 each and are available in advance or at the door. In addition to the film showing, audience members are encouraged to remain after the movie for a brief "Afterglow" featuring snacks & beverages right on stage.
