Sunday, August 4 at 5:00 pm In the John E. Hillert Auditorium As part of the Wrightsville Festival, a free community screening of the film GREEN PASTURES. Refreshments will be available, and all are welcome! The film is rated NR. ABOUT THE FILM: A preacher in a small African American church in Louisiana tells his Sunday school class stories from the Bible as if the characters were part of a local fish fry. He starts with the creation of the world by God, known as “De Lawd” (Rex Ingram), and tells how God went on to create heaven, which is just like their farmland, and then created man and woman, followed by their fall and finally the coming of Jesus Christ. The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play. • historicmasonictheatre.com/historic-masonic-theatre/events/
