New Series at the Museum!

Be on the lookout for paparazzi! We are pleased to announce a new addition to our programming: The Red Carpet Club. This film club will meet every other month, starting Thursday, April 22.

Here’s how we got the idea:

· One of the first things you see when you enter the museum is our beautiful theatre.

· There are many films with Indiana connections. (Hoosiers, Breaking Away, A Christmas Story, and any James Dean or Carole Lombard film, etc!)

· We are lucky enough to have John Corso as a member of our board of directors. John was an Art Director at Universal Studios; the list of films he worked on is impressive to say the least! He is a voting member of the Academy, which means he votes for who receives the Oscars.

Put all that together and we decided to kick off our club with a screening of Coal Miner’s Daughter, for which John was nominated for an Academy Award! The Indiana connection? The movie is the story of Loretta Lynn’s life. Loretta’s sister, Crystal Gayle, grew up in Wabash. In fact, Loretta herself lived in Wabash briefly.

The event will take place at the Museum TOMORROW and the film will begin at 6 p.m. John will share some of his experiences working on the film and will take questions after the movie.

Admission is $5 per person, and reservations are strongly recommended due to limited seating. Call 260.563.9070 for more information and to make your reservation for this inaugural meeting of The Red Carpet Club.
