Libraries Collaborates on Springfield Premiere of Documentary Film
Next Thursday evening, June 28th, is the big Springfield premiere of a feature-length documentary about Springfield’s rich musical heritage.
Dave Hoekstra, a media person (Sun-Times and WGN) and author from Chicago, is the producer, and Abbey Waterworth, a local singer and musician (and a student employee in the MSU Libraries), is the associate producer. The event at the Fox Theater on the Square is free and open to all. No tickets required.
The event is being hosted by the History Museum on the Square and sponsored by Ozarks Alive, Music Mondays of the Ozarks, and the Ozarks Studies Institute, an initiative of the MSU Libraries. Light refreshments and a cash bar from the Hotel Vandivort will be available. Doors will open at 5:30. Musical entertainment will be presented by Abbey Waterworth, followed by a brief panel discussion with various luminaries, then the screening of the 90-minute documentary at 7:00 p.m.
