This summer, the School of Theater, Film and Media Arts is bringing the Temple community a movie club with a difference: movies featuring work by leading Owls.
The TFMA Summer Blockbuster Series invites viewers to watch a trio of recent movies, then join a virtual conversation with the alumni who worked on them. Each discussion will take place on Zoom and will be hosted by a member of the school s faculty. The events are free, but registration is required.
The series kicks off July 10, with a discussion of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, featuring Bryan Terrell Clark, TFM 03, who played George Washington in the show from 2017 to 2019; Paige Smallwood, TFM 17, who was the principal standby for the Schuyler sisters in the show s Angelica national tour; and Josh Tower, TFM 95, who was the standby for Aaron Burr in the same tour. The event will be moderated by Kimmika Williams-Witherspoon, associate professor of theater and playwriting at the school.
Other conversations will focus on the Oscar-winning thriller Argo (2012) and the horror movie It (2017).
Learn more about the series and register for each talk.
