About this event

As the lad’s parents, Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman were nominated for Best Actor and Actress. Free as part of Free First Saturday; no reservation needed to attend. Seating is limited to 250 on a first-come, first-served basis. Auditorium doors open at 1:30 p.m. Free First Saturdays are supported in part by CAMPUS USA Credit Union.
