Show Big Premiere Planned For Park City A second annual fundraiser to benefit the Kimball Art Center was announced by Tina Lewis, President of the Kimball Art Guild which is sponsoring the summer event, "Almost Summer." Sum-mer." Set for Sunday, June 11th, "Almost Summer" will be a day of sports, the Utah premiere of Steven Tisch's new film "Almost Summer" and followed by a cocktail buffet at the Kimball Art Center. The sports day activities included for "Almost Summer" ticket holders will be tennis, swimming, and volleyball at the Park City Racquet Club, golf on the Park City Golf Course, as well as rides on the Alpine Slide at the Resort Center. In addition, there will be an afternoon exhibition tennis match between the highly ranked Utah doubles team of Bill Lattimer and Rob Bollinger versus the Park City Racquet Club pros Bob McBroom and Jim Anderson. Refreshments will be available throughout the day at the Racquest Club and Golf Course. Following the day's sports activities, the movie "Almost Summer" will premiere at Park City's Silver Wheel Theatre located on Main Street. "Almost Summer" is a romantic youthful comedy about the pains and pleasures of high school. Although set in the 70's, "Almost Summer" is a sensitive, vulnerable movie that will evoke high school memories among many adults with such lines as -"I'll just die if he doesn't invite me to the prom" and "How can I let her see me with this pimple." Executive producer Steven Tisch who also produced "Outlaw Blues" which premiered in Park City last summer, will attend the event. With him will be "Almost Summer" stars Didi Conn ("You Light Up My Life") and John Friedrich. Following the movie there will be a cocktail buffet catered by ' Charlie's Oyster Bar, Silver King Club, held in the main gallery of the Kimball Art Center. Laurie Tisch, sister of movie producer Steven Tisch and member of the Kimball Art Center Board of Trustees said, "As Chairperson of 'Almost Summer', I expect that our 2nd annual fundraiser event will be even bigger and better than before. Last year, the Kimball Art Guild sponsored the movie premiere of 'Outlaw Blues' which brought in nearly $6300. I'm hoping that even more Park City, Salt Lake and surrounding area people will join in this year's fun." She added that "In fact, by June 11th, it will actually be 'almost summer' in Park City." Tickets for the fundraising event are $25 per person and will go on sale May 16th. Larger gold and silver donations to the Kimball Art Center will also be encouraged. |
