The Central Canada Film Group continues their Films You Might Have Missed series tonight. The group’s Collin Davis says they’ll feature the film Florence Foster Jenkins which is about a New York heiress who dreamed of becoming an opera singer despite having a terrible singing voice. He says she was an American socialite and amateur soprano who was known at the time and mocked for her flamboyant performance costumes and notably poor singing voice. Although she performed somewhat regularly her overly devoted and long suffering husband somehow managed to keep her in the dark as to what the public was saying.
The doors open at 7 tonight in the Hapnot Collegiate Theatre with the film starting at 7:30. Admission is free although there is a voluntary silver collection.
