“Harriet,” the movie featuring 2020 Academy Award nominee Cynthia Erivo in the lead role, has been rescheduled for a showing at noon Friday, Feb. 21, at the Alhambra Theatre.
Tickets are $5, and the theater will open an hour before the show time. Concessions will be available.
The show was rescheduled after winter weather closed local schools on Friday, Feb. 7. School groups will attend the movie in conduction with Black History Month studies. However, seating will be available for the general public as well.
The movie is about Harriet Tubman, the woman who escaped slavery and earned the title of “conductor” for the Underground Railroad in her role helping hundreds of other American slaves gain freedom. She became one of the country’s mostly highly regarded abolitionists and also was an activist in the suffrage movement.
The Pennyroyal Arts Council, which manages the Alhambra, plans to add more new movies to it events lineup in the coming year.
