"Last Call: Main Street, Dreams and the Search for Community" followed by a Q&A with the Director John Stanton (to partially benefit The Warming Place)

Narrated by Russell Baker, local filmmaker John Stanton’s documentary echoes the easy give-and-take of a friendly tavern, featuring interviews with such locals as actor John Shea  and journalist David Halberstam, who enjoyed the Bosun’s Locker in its heyday, when it was a microcosm of the cultural and political changes of the period. These patrons also reflect on the economic and social forces that spelled the end not only for the bar but for Nantucket as an indigenous community. Stanton doesn’t single out villains in this taut and melancholy short; he merely suggests that this last call is just one more passage for the island.

Documentary run time is 1 hour, then we will have a Q&A after film.

Tickets are FREE for Nantucket Dreamland Members, and $13 ($10 + $3 service fee) for everyone else.
