WLOK Black Film Festival presents Dreamgirls

08/30/19
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm


Crosstown Theater
1350 Concourse Ave.
Memphis, TN 38104 United States

WLOK presents a screening of Dreamgirls at Crosstown Theater as part of its annual Black Film Festival.

Deena (Beyoncé Knowles), Effie (Jennifer Hudson) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) form a music trio called the Dreamettes. When ambitious manager Curtis Taylor Jr. (Jamie Foxx) spots the act at a talent show, he offers the chance of a lifetime, to be backup singers for a national star (Eddie Murphy). Taylor takes creative control of the group and eventually pushes the singers into the spotlight. However, one becomes the star, forcing another out, which teaches them about the high cost of fame.

Black Film Festival Ticket Cost: $5.00 adult, $3.00 child; $12.00 for all five films for adults; $8.00 for all five films for children

To Purchase Tickets, Call WLOK at (901) 527-9565; more info: http://www.wlok.com/wlok-black-film-festival/
