The trees are starting to change colors, kiddos are back at school, and schedules are busier than ever. The colors are lovely, but the transition to fall isn’t always easy – so what better time to remind yourself of how to be a terrific neighbor? Our event pick of the weekend is the Park City Film Series screening of “Won’t You Be My Neighbor.

Park City Film Series: “Won’t You Be My Neighbor”
September 7 – 9
Jim Santy Auditorium @ Park City Library
There has been so much buzz about “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” we’ll be surprised if there’s an open seat left for any one of this weekend’s screenings. The film takes an intimate look at Fred Rogers, known to most of us as the zip-up-cardigan-wearing Mr. Rogers. This emotional film goes into the heart of the quietly revolutionary genius who was Mr. Rogers. Shows are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and at 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Oliver!
September 7 – 16
The Egyptian Theatre
Charles Dickens’ beloved novel, “Oliver Twist,” comes to life on the Egyptian Theatre stage through September 16th. “Oliver!” takes audiences through Victorian England in this presentation from the Ziegfeld Theatre Company. Get tickets for this Tony-award winning musical theatre masterpiece here.
