Silent Films with Live Musical Accompaniment

Join us for a family-friendly silent film program with live music played by Jeff Rapsis.
We’ll watch two comedies from Buster Keaton, the most silent of silent comics. 'Sherlock Jr.' (1924), where amateur detective Buster tries to solve the mystery of who stole a watch, but instead dreams himself into the crime drama at a local theater. And 'The Cameraman' (1928), where Keaton tries to impress the gal of his dreams by working as a newsreel photographer. Can he get a break, and also get the girl?
