Free Mamma Mia! Sing-Along Screening

Chicago Filmmakers, presenter of Reeling: The Chicago Lesbian & Gay International Film Festival (this year being held November 5-14, 2009), is holding an outdoor movie screening of the sing-along version of the 2008 hit film Mamma Mia! The free event will be held on Saturday, June 27 as the sun goes down at Osterman Beach, which is located at approximately 5800 North Lake Shore Drive. The film will be projected for viewing onto a large screen set up at the beach, courtesy of the Chicago Park District. Mamma Mia! is being presented in celebration of national Gay Pride Month and, locally, Gay Pride Weekend. Attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets and for a fun evening of singing and dancing to the hit film that recently made box office history as the highest grossing British film of all time in the United Kingdom. In addition to breaking this record, Mamma Mia! is one of the most profitable movies ever, making more than $500 million worldwide. The event on June 27 is made possible through the support of Andersonville Physical Therapy, Continuum Studio, Grand Street Gardens, Fat Cat and TPAN.
