Night at the Movies: Lady Bird

Inspired by the mother-daughter relationship in Olney Theatre Center’s production of Oil, which spans centuries, we are screening Lady Bird, one of the best recent films featuring a mother and daughter for the ages. Writer-director Greta Gerwig earned an Oscar nomination for her film about an eccentric teen who’s determined to get out of Sacramento and prove she can do something with her life. Best Actress Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) plays the titular Lady Bird with aplomb, clashing spectacularly with her formidable mother, played by the wonderful Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne), nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars. Lady Bird is a witty and honest portrayal of what it’s like growing up.

The film is Rated R and will be screened in our Historic Theatre with FREE admission. The film will also be screened with English subtitles. Register for the event on our website
