Admission: Free
Sponsored in honor of the 89th birthday of the patriarch and dairy farmer activist Arden Tewksbury, The Dietrich Theater will present two showings of Arden Tewksbury’s favorite movie The Pride of the Yankees.  Starring Gary Cooper, Teresa Wright, and with Babe Ruth, this moving biographical drama follows the life of revered baseball player Lou Gehrig. Championed by sportswriter Sam Blake, Gehrig eventually gets recruited by the New York Yankees, joining a team of heavy hitters that includes the legendary Babe Ruth. When Gehrig marries his spirited sweetheart, things look up for him, but he is soon sidelined by a terrible illness that he bravely tries to battle. Tickets are available at the Dietrich Theater ticket booth and by calling 570-836-1022 x3 while they last.
