What Would Whitney Do?

Zurawski v Texas Free Movie Screening
Join us for a monumental event Sunday, April 27th, at the Rome Capitol Theater as we present a special screening of the acclaimed documentary, Zurawski v Texas. This powerful film, produced by Jennifer Lawrence, has captured the attention of audiences and critics alike, winning prestigious awards such as the Artemis Rising Foundation Award for Social Impact.
In response to the enthusiastic feedback from the February screening and audience requests to share the story with a wider audience, Whitney's Legacy is excited to announce a second film screening, back by popular demand.
Join us after the screening to celebrate our one-year anniversary as a nonprofit organization at Franca’s Wine Room - 10% of proceeds directly benefit Whitney’s Legacy. Enjoy great food, drinks and live music from John Hutson & John Kelsey!
John Hutson has been a working musician his entire life. He’s an accomplished guitarist and vocalist who’s been performing for some 55 years. He’s been working in Central NY since moving here in the 90s. Before that, he lived and worked as a player, singer, recording artist, and studio engineer for 20 years in San Diego. He’s one of those players who’s pretty difficult to stump, having performed a wide array of musical styles from Rock to Blue to Jazz to Country, to R&B and Soul. With local guitarist John Kelsey, their duo is an eclectic live music powerhouse!
