Everyone's A Critic November 3rd 6 & 7PM

By Putnam Museum

So how does Everyone's A Critic work?

It's easy! Everyone's A Critic goers screen a documentary that has never before been seen on the Putnam's National Geographic GIANT Screen, nor will they know what movie they will be seeing until it is being played that night. After the film, guest critics will be asked to rate their experience. The film that scores the highest will then be brought back for a full run on the National Geographic GIANT Screen for 2016.

Admission is $7.00 for guest critics of all ages and includes the film, a small popcorn and soda. For those the age 21 and older, beer and wine will also be available for purchase. Don't miss this chance to be the first to see and rate a film never before seen at the Putnam.
