Screening at Discussion at The Avalon Theatre

Join the Talbot250 Commission and friends as we officially kick off Talbot County’s 365th anniversary and the nation’s Semiquincentennial year with a special program at the Avalon Theatre featuring The American Revolution, a new documentary series directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt, and written by Geoffrey Ward. This one-hour event includes a 31-minute screening of selected moments from the six-part series that highlight the “Spirit of Service”, the courage, sacrifice, and civic duty that united ordinary people in the fight for independence. Following the film, Craig Fuller will lead a panel discussion exploring how the spirit of service that shaped America’s founding continues to define Talbot County’s story today.
