We Need to Talk About Stamford

The movie, We Need to Talk About Kevin, starring Tilda Swinton and and John C. Reilly, is out. Why should you care? Because it was filmed in your backyard! I haven't seen it yet - and the subject matter is heavy - but it's supposed to be very good. If you go, see if you can identify any bits of our town on the big screen.

The event is designed to help bring theater to underprivileged children and is offered in conjunction with the Stamford School Readiness Foundation.

Tickets cost $10, and you can get them at the Stamford Center for the Arts website or by calling Carol Bryan at 203-517-3431 for more information. Fairway Market will be providing fresh apples to the children in attendance so they'll leave with bellies full of fruit and brains full of culture.
