Description

Netting her a Tony Award for Lead Actress in 1986, this film adaptation of Lily Tomlin’s groundbreaking one-woman show (written with her longtime partner and collaborator Jane Wagner) showcases Tomlin’s performances as both herself and separate personas and characters addressing all aspects of modern life and feminism. It’s a comedic tour-de-force and embodies what makes Tomlin such a complete treasure. If you plan on watching the titular Lily Tomlin documentary we are unveiling at the festival this year, which goes behind-the-scenes of the making of the show, be sure to also get a ticket for this must-see companion piece.This special screening is $5.
