Safe Summer: “Dreamgirls” Movie Screening

  • Prince George's Publick Playhouse 5445 Landover Road Hyattsville, MD, 20784 United States (map)

Note: Due to fixed capacity, reservations are recommended.

Teens ages 12-17, take a break from the summer heat and join us at the Publick Playhouse for a free movie screening and snacks. “Dreamgirls” (2006) is a musical drama about Deena (Beyoncé Knowles), Effie (Jennifer Hudson) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) forming 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. Rated PG-13 | 2h 10m.
