GM film premiere sold out
“The Last Truck: Closing of a General Motors Plant” is sold out for the screening tonight, Aug. 19, at the Schuster Performing Arts Center. The showing will be in the 2,300-seat Mead Theatre.
Although admission is free, reservations were required to see the premiere of the HBO presentation of the documentary by Yellow Springs filmmakers Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert about workers at the former Moraine truck assembly plant. Former workers at the GM facility were given first choice before seats were opened to the general public.
Check in for reservations will begin at 5:30 p.m. The screening will begin at 6:30. The Victoria Theatre Association has announced that Main Street will be closed between First and Second streets. The Arts Garage at Ludlow and Second streets will be open for paid parking.
Former workers who can’t see the film are still invited to be part of a group photo that will be taken in the Wintergarden of the Schuster Center at Second and Main streets at about 8 p.m.
The film will be broadcast on HBO starting on Labor Day, Sept. 7. A DVD version will be available later.
