Friday Night Film Series

The Friends of the Thomaston Public Library present:

James Dean in
Rebel Without a Cause

Friday, August 27th
6:30 PM
Thomaston Academy Building, room 208

When Jim Stark (Dean) arrives in a new town with his troubled past firmly in tow, he quickly falls for the girl next door (Natalie Wood) and befriends the vulnerable Plato (Sal Mineo) forming a surrogate family fueled by alienation. From a deadly game of chicken to the spectacular climax at Los Angeles's Griffith Park Observatory, directory Nicholas Ray's Oscar-nominated portrait of teen angst provided a jolt to 1950s America.

Doors and bookstore open at 6 and admission, as always, is free. Light refreshments will be served and donations are gratefully accepted. For more information call the library at 354-2453.
