About this Event
GALA SCREENING: Finding Your Laughter
When Arlieta leaves her day job to care for her aging father, Milton, she faces the emotional challenges of watching a loved one decline.
Drawing inspiration from her father’s artistic legacy, she discovers an unexpected source of strength: comedy. Through improvisation and laughter, Arlieta finds ways to connect with Milton, honor his experiences, and navigate the difficulties of caregiving. Alongside her “bonus mom,” Charmaine, she learns that humor can offer moments of joy, dignity, and healing even in the most difficult circumstances.
Heartfelt, funny, and deeply moving, Finding Your Laughter explores the power of creativity, family bonds, and the resilience of the human spirit.
SPECIAL GALA EVENT: The screening will be followed by a live comedy performance, a Q&A, and a reception.
