Dinner & a Film at SVAC
Join us for dinner at curATE on Tuesday, July 28, before the 7:30 p.m. screening of REUNION: Ordinary Lives Viewed Up Close, presented by Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning and the Southern Vermont Arts Center.
Through candid interviews with ten members of the Niskayuna High School Class of 1962, the film reflects on aging, legacy, resilience and what it means to grow older with purpose. A conversation with executive producer Bob Van Degna will follow the screening.
Dinner reservations and advance registration for the screening are recommended.
