Sorry for the short notice, but this is still worth mentioning: Tonight, the Egyptian Theatre will be hosting the West Coast premiere of Girls on the Wall, a new documentary that promises to be, well, pretty awesome – it follows three teenage girls in a juvenile detention center who are offered the opportunity to make a musical about their lives. I’ve got a soft spot for stories about tough girl musicians, so this sounds like a pretty good way to spend a rainy evening.
Director Heather Ross and Producer Julie Janata (who also produced Mayor of the Sunset Strip) will be there for a Q&A, and there will be a live performance before the screening by local hip hop artists and b-girl crew Antics, who appear to have the kind of dance moves I could only aspire to in my wildest dreams.
Music starts at 7:00, the film starts at 7:30, and tickets are available at the Egyptian’s box office, or online at Fandango.
The Egyptian’s been doing lots of great stuff lately. Thanks for the info!
