ONE LAST TIME at the Avalon

by Cieslafdn | Jul 18, 2019 | Uncategorized

ONE LAST TIME

On Wednesday, July 10th, The Spy Behind Home Plate had its final screening at the Avalon Theater in Washington, DC. Roughly 200 people came to see the film, some for the first time and others who wanted to relive the story. Director Aviva Kempner introduced the movie and gave a Q&A after the show. One lucky fan even got an autograph after the show.

Spy also opened up in many new cities over the weekend. Crowds in Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Memphis had their first chance to learn the story of the tantalizing Berg. With August looming, time is running out on Spy’s commercial run so don’t miss out. Information on new screenings can be found below.
