Diablo Ballet "Dance on Film" Series - An American in Paris

Lafayette Library and Learning Center Foundation, Neighbor

Enjoy a special screening of the 1951 MGM musical classic, An American in Paris. The film will be hosted by the Diablo Ballet!

The focus of this film is an opportunistic American painter, Jerry Mulligan, living in the City of Light. While enjoying the patronage of a well-heeled, amorous American gallery owner, Jerry simultaneously falls for a willowy French street urchin. Trouble is, the object of Mulligan's affection also happens to be engaged to a famous French singer. This tour de force movie musical nabbed seven Oscars.

Before the screening, join Lauren Jonas, Diablo Ballet Artistic Director, and Beau Behan, film critic for Walnut Creek Patch and Orinda News, as they share fascinating information about the making of this classic!

Attendees may participate in a special FREE drawing for a chance to win tickets for two to a Diablo Ballet performance!
