Back by popular demand, Screen on the Green celebrates two must-see summer exhibitions: Georgia O’Keeffe and the Women of the Stieglitz Circle and Eleanor Antin: Historical Takes. Guest-curated by film buff Scott Marks, this series is generously sponsored by Phil and Lyn Gildred.

The Shop Around the Corner (1940, NR)
July 31
Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan) constantly irritate each other, but this daily aggravation is tempered by the fact that each has a secret pen pal with whom they trade long, soul-searching letters. This film was the inspiration for You’ve Got Mail.

Sabrina (1954, NR)
August 7
Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden star in Billy Wilder’s timeless tale of “accidentally” finding true love when you’re not looking for it. This classic film was nominated for two Academy Awards in 1955 (Best Director and Best Actress in a Leading Role).

The Parent Trap (1961, G)
August 14
Hayley Mills stars as twin sisters who, unknown to their divorced parents Maureen O’Hara and Brian Keith, meet at summer camp and switch places in order to meet the parent they never knew. This is a Disney classic that’s perfect for the entire family!

Bye-Bye Birdie (1963, G) It’s a Sing Along!
August 21
Warm up your vocal chords for the first-ever Screen on the Green sing along! Join Ann-Margret, Janet Leigh, and Dick Van Dyke in this tune-filled story of a 1960s rock icon, a small town of energetic teen fans, and a chance to kiss Conrad Birdie on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Paper Moon(1973, PG)
August 28
In an Oscar-winning performance, Tatum O’Neal stars as Addie Loggins, a 9-year old orphan who meets con man Moses Pray (Ryan O’Neal). During their travels together, Pray discovers that the orphan is better at “his” game than he is.
