SUNDAY: Join us at 4pm for a special one-time screening of “Rebel With a Clause” with film subject Ellen Jovin and filmmaker Brandt Johnson in attendance for an audience Q&A! In this hilarious documentary about New York Times best-selling author and “grammar guru” Ellen Jovin, Jovin takes her pop-up grammar advice stand on an epic road trip across all 50 states. Her goal? To show that comma fights can bring us closer together in a divided time.

Described as a “love letter to grammar,” “one of the funniest movies of the year,” and a “breezy and lighthearted” film with a timely message about the importance of language and civil discussion, “Rebel With a Clause” is sure to both entertain and inspire audiences. Tickets are on sale now at TheBayTheatre.org!
