Grey Gardens The Documentary

The Great Lakes Film Association is proud to announce the latest addition to our stable of film series, “Kim Mc’s Flick Pics.” Lending the same cutting edge artistic style that the Roadhouse Theatre was founded on, Kim McClelland each month shall present films that will expand the intellect and provoke the senses.

For the inaugural presentation Kim has chosen “Grey Gardens, The Documentary”

Over a decade before "The Jerry Springer Show" was 'Grey Gardens,' a documentary of truly questionable character. Grey Gardens is a 1975 documentary film by the direction/cinematography/editing team of Albert and David Maysles, Susan Froemke, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyer. The film depicts the everyday lives of two women who lived at Grey Gardens, a decrepit 28-room mansion in the Georgia Pond neighborhood of East Hampton, New York located at 3 West End Avenue in the tony resort neighborhood

The Maysles brothers pay visits to Edith Bouvier Beale, nearing 80, and her daughter Edie. Reclusive, the pair lives with cats and raccoons in Grey Gardens, a crumbling mansion in East Hampton. Edith is dry and quick-witted - a singer, married but later separated, a member of high society. Edie is voluble, dresses - as she puts it - for combat in tight ensembles that include scarves wrapped around her head. There are hints that Edie came home 24 years before to be cared for rather than to care for her mother. The women address the camera, talking over each other, moving from the present to events years before. They're odd, with flinty affection for each other.

This one night only special event will take place at 8:00pm to be followed by a question and answer session hosted by Kim McClelland and a wine and cheese reception. This event is also BYOB with proper ID.

For more information or V.I.P. reservations please call the Roadhouse Theatre box office between the hours of 2:00pm and 6:00pm Tuesday through Saturday at 814-456-5656
