Join us on April 25th at Parkway Central Branch Library beginning at noon for a meet and greet with Casey and MovieJawn staff. At 1pm, follow us to the Montgomery Auditorium for a special presentation of Johnny Guitar with an introduction from Casey and a Q&A to follow moderated by MovieJawn's Editor in Chief, Rosalie Kicks. SNAG YOUR FREE TICKET HERE

Casey will also be sharing a rare collection of Joan Crawford's home movies compliments of the Crawford estate. Description from Ambler Theater: These home movies (ca. 1940–42) present that which one rarely gets to see: a larger-than-life personality at home, unadorned, just being herself — and often in color, at a time when her feature films were black and white. Crawford filmed most of the home movies herself; when she is on camera, it is unclear who is behind it. SNAG YOUR FREE TICKET HERE
