Jazz & Beyond, in cooperation with Carson City Classic Cinema Club and the Brewery Arts Center, presents the 1956 classic film High Society in a drive-in movie setting at the Brewery Arts Center.  It will be presented two nights: Wed., Aug. 19, and Thurs., Aug. 20.  The movie is free, but reservations are required and are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.  Reservations will not be taken before Aug. 10 at 2:00 p.m.  Vehicles will be assigned parking spots based upon size of vehicles and profile.  There is no limit to the number of occupants per car.  In keeping with guidelines for social distancing, movie goers must stay with their vehicles.  No food trucks will be present.  The sound is transmitted via radio signal on 107.5 FM to your car radio or a portable radio.

High Society is a romantic musical comedy film, with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra.  Also in the cast is Louis Armstrong and His Band, Celeste Holm, and John Lund.  The film is a musical remake of the 1940 film The Philadelphia Story which starred Katharine Hepburn.   Commentary on the film will be presented by Robin Holabird, former Nevada Film Commissioner.

The parking lot will open at 7:30 p.m., introductions and commentary will be presented about 8:30, and the show will start around 8:45 p.m.
