See a Movie and Meet an Actor from Newton

The Newton Free Library will show "Connie & Carla" and afterward Andrea Lyman will host a Q&A.

Check out a movie featuring an actor from right here in Newton. 

The Newton Free Library will show "Connie & Carla" on Saturday. After the movie, Lyman will be on hand to discuss her career as an actor, singer, voice artist and producer.

The movie features Nia Vardalos, from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." "Connie & Carla" is a buddy comedy in the vein of "Some Like It Hot" with chanteuses working the dinner theater circuit in L.A. who take an undercover assignment, posing as drag queens. Things get extra-weird when a guy falls for one of the girls (as a guy?)

The movie is rated PG-13 and begins at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Light refreshments will be served. For more information contact Royce McGrath 617-796-1390 RoMcGrath@minlib.net.
