The Athenaeum's outdoor movie series, Flicks on the Bricks, invites you to enjoy classic movies on our patio during beautiful summer nights. In August, KPBS film critic, arts reporter, and "Cinema Junkie" podcast host Beth Accomando returns to host the 19th annual Flicks on the Bricks series. This year, she has chosen four timeless comedies celebrating witty women. Laughter is always a good thing, and movies have a gift for making us laugh. This summer let’s laugh with some of the brightest, wittiest, most glamorous women of the silver screen. The powerful actresses we see now owe a great debt to some of the women who came before them and blazed a trail. Mae West was 40—the age many actresses found themselves being retired from the screen—when she made her first movie, plus she wrote her own material. Norma Shearer ruled as Queen of MGM for decades, while Carole Lombard and Jean Arthur came to define the effervescent energy of screwball comedies. Join us in celebrating the legacy of these stellar women with a quartet of delightful films. Series tickets for the open-air theater include four memorable films: "She Done Him Wrong" (1933), "My Man Godfrey" (1936), "Private Lives" (1931), and "Easy Living" (1937). Popcorn is included with your ticket. Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. Plus, enjoy weekly trivia and prizes throughout the series. Join the Athenaeum for its 19th year of hot summer fun! Athenaeum Music & Arts Library on Facebook / Instagram
