The After Hours Film Society will host a screening of “One to One: John & Yoko” at 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 16, at Tivoli Theatre, 5021 Highland Ave. in Downers Grove.
An expansive and revelatory inside look at the 18 months John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent living in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, “One to One: John & Yoko” delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of Lennon's only full-length, post-Beatles concert. With remastered audio overseen by their son, Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of the iconic couple.
David Rhodes and the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ Concerts have returned to the Tivoli stage, thanks to a generous grant from the JCS Arts, Health & Education Fund of DuPage Foundation.The organ lights up at 7 p.m. Come early and enjoy the music!
