The historic Penn Theatre in downtown Plymouth will continue to offer science programming to the community following a grant to the Friends of the Penn from the partnership of Coolidge Corner Theatre of Brookline, MA, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for the Science on Screen® programming. The Science on Screen® program features classic, cult, and documentary films matched with presentations by experts who discuss scientific, technological, or medical issues raised by each film.
Penn Theatre Executive Director Ellen Elliott said the grant was welcome.
“We look forward to this new expanded season of Science on Screen. We are so fortunate to be a recipient of this most generous grant that allows us to present these fun and educational programs for free to our community.”
The 2025 programming includes free admission. Upcoming presentations include Birders: Connecting with Nature and a documentary film, Birders: The Central Park Effect (2012) at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 24. Every Little Thing – Pollinators: Unsung Heroes of Our Human Existence.
Legacy sponsor Sally Fedus provided additional funding.
