Some Like It Hot

 

Tuesday, July 8 at 7 PM

 

Okay, this one is on a Tuesday night. But it's a good one. Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon in what has been called the best comedy movie ever: Some Like it Hot. Two down on their luck jazz musicians find themselves out of a job and on the run after the police raid the speakeasy they perform in and they inadvertently stumble upon a gang war. With no money and nowhere to hide, a gig with Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators at a Florida beach resort seems like the perfect getaway. There’s just one problem: the Syncopators are an all-female band, and Joe and Jerry aren’t women - yet. Armed with some dodgy wigs and wobbly falsettos, Joe and Jerry manage to join the Syncopators, where they meet Sugar Kane: a hooch-swilling, ukulele-playing knockout with a soft spot for badboy saxophone players. Barely able to believe their good fortune, things start to go off the rails for the pair when they begin to attract unwanted attention from lecherous millionaires and some familiar faces show up at their hotel for a gathering of the country’s most dangerous criminals. Tickets are $9 in advance at Highway 61 Coffeehouse and $10 at the door. And for those who like their POPCORN hot, ours is FREE!!! Tuesday, July 8 at 7 PM

Free screening: Fannie Lou Hamer's America followed by conversation

 

An evening of film, conversation and inspiration... Fannie Lou Hamer’s America is documentary told through the public speeches, personal interviews, and powerful songs of the fearless Mississippi sharecropper-turned-human-rights-activist. Known for being “sick and tired of being sick and tired” and her impassioned pleas for equal rights, Fannie Lou Hamer helped change laws and was very influential in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Mississippi Humanities Council will present a fundraiser screening of Fannie Lou Hamer's America, an award-winning documentary celebrating one of Mississippi's fiercest voices for justice. The screening will be followed by an unforgettable panel discussion featuring those who knew her best. This event is more than a celebration of history - it is a call to action. Recent Federal funding cuts by DOGE have eliminated National Endowment for the Humanities grants jeopordizing vital public programming like this. The Mississippi Humanities Council is turning to the community to help sustain these enriching initiatives that preserve Mississippi's diverse stories and foster meaningful dialogue. Hear first hand memories of Fannie Lou Hamer and how the Mississippi Humanities Council helped bring her story to national and international film audiences. Free Saturday, June 21 at 7 PM
