Berlin Takes Manhattan with 'Easter Parade' Screening and Sing-Along

I would normally just plunk something online about this as it got closer, but I really think this event deserves the type of advance planning we bestow on weddings and Super Bowls: Lincoln Center just announced that it is going to screen a new print of Irving Berlin's New York opus Easter Parade May 30. Which is awesome enough, I guess, except that a program of rarely seen animated Berlin shorts from Fleischer Studios will precede the screening. Oh, and some Berlin scholar actually plans a post-screening Q&A and sing-along.

Anyway, consider this your cue to check on your grandmother; if this news does not make her faint, it at least made her orgasm.

I actually got super excited about that press release this morning. More proof that I am really 85 years old.
