"Little Satchmo" Documentary Screening

Join the LMCC for a screening of the internationally acclaimed, Emmy-winning Little Satchmo documentary on Friday, April 26th, 2024 at 6:00 PM. Following the screening will be a virtual Q&A with Louis Armstrong’s daughter, Sharon Preston-Folta.

To the world, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius, unparalleled success, and unassailable character. To Sharon, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature. In private, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.

Doors open at 5:30 PM and the screening will start at 6:00 PM. Concessions will be sold at the screening. Tickets will be $15 per person available online at Eventbrite. Parking is available for free at the front and back of the building and also paid parking across the street.
