Strike up the band!

The latest installment of the Library’s special, intergenerational movie series for individuals with dementia, their friends, and families spotlights the delightful 1962 musical The Music Man (G), featuring Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, and a trove of songs that earned an Oscar for best score.

There’s live music, as well, courtesy of the New Orleans-style Dirty Force Brass Band. And popcorn. All attendees will leave with a special treat.

Co-sponsored by Kansas City FilmFest, the Heart of America Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, The Creativity Connection, and The Kansas City Star.
