To Kill a Mocking Bird
The Carlisle Theatre and the Dickinson School of Law are hosting the event. On August 19 at 7:00 PM we are showing the film To Kill A Mockingbird. The film will be followed by a panel discussion led by Professor Michael Mogill. One panelist will be Jon Birbeck, who is currently the Chief Deputy District Attorney for Cumberland County, but who has been tapped by Governor Wolf to take over the Cumberland County Magisterial District Court.
DSL is incorporating the film into their 1L orientation week, but the event is open to the public with the purchase of a ticket. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling the Carlisle Theatre at 717-258-0666 and will be available at the door.
In addition, Rhone Brew Company, a new Carlisle micro-brewery, will be offering free beer tasting in the Theatre's lobby during the hour before the film.
