Wednesday, August 18
E.T. at The Mann Center with
the Philadelphia Orchestra

Watch the heartwarming Steven Spielberg masterpiece with the live soundtrack pro-
vided by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Spread a blanket or bring a low-to-the-ground
beach chair as we camp out on the Great Lawn. This is also a picnic-friendly event so
pack a basket or cooler. Tickets are $28 at the box office. I’ll make the trip to the
Mann Center as interest grows. Contact me at johnkennedy0880@comcast.net.
