"Rebel With A Clause" (With Filmmaker & Star)

The Rapidian and Wealthy Theatre present a screening of the new documentary "Rebel With A Clause" with Ellen Jovin and Brandt Johnson here in-person!

One fall day, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade sign that said “Grammar Table.” Right away, passersby began excitedly asking questions, telling stories, and filing complaints. What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend. Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 states as Brandt shot the grammar action. But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest in a divided time to bring us all closer together.

Join us for the Grand Rapids premiere screening, (featuring footage shot in GR) with Grammar Table proprietor Ellen Jovin and filmmaker Brandt Johnson in-person! Ellen will set up her grammar advice stand an hour before the show, so come on over early with your grammar questions and complaints. After the movie, Ellen and Brandt will do a Q&A, followed by a book signing of Ellen’s national bestseller.
