Please join Peter Lawson Jones for the Special Red Carpet Advance Screening of A Man Called Otto, starring Tom Hanks and featuring Peter Lawson Jones in a major supporting role! The event will begin with a special VIP reception at 6:00 pm, followed by a program at 7:00 pm and the film screening starting at 7:15 pm. After the screening, Jones will participate in a Q&A session. Those interested in attending the red carpet advance screening can purchase VIP tickets for $100 each or general admission tickets for $50 each. VIP ticket holders will receive a swag bag, a unique event-specific piece of art designed by Gloria K. Ritter and access to both the VIP reception and the screening of A Man Called Otto. General admission ticket purchasers will receive the art piece and access to the screening of the film. A portion of both ticket purchases will be tax deductible. All those who purchase their tickets by December 28, 2022, will receive a Cinemark voucher in the amount of $5.00.

The proceeds from this pre-screening will provide additional and much-needed financial support for the Charles & Margaret Jones Scholarship Fund at College Now Greater Cleveland. The scholarship fund was established by Peter Lawson Jones in honor of his late parents’ living legacy. Margaret Jones was a Cleveland public school teacher, and Charles Jones was a college administrator. Both Margaret and Charles had an unshakable belief in the power of education. To date, over $40,000 has been awarded to 19 students through the fund, and the graduation rate for these scholarship recipients is 74%, surpassing the 29% graduation rate of the typical low-income college student.
