Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Mortica. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.”

“Stripped for Parts” Screening at Allen Theatre

Free | 1:30-3 p.m., Sunday, May 18 | 36 E. Main St., Annville

“Stripped for Parts” tells the story of the secretive hedge fund that used to own the Lebanon Daily News until it was swapped to Gannett in 2015. The film explores why Alden Global Capital has gobbled up so many newspapers only to gut them. It’s a question your LebTown editor asked himself many times from 2012 to 2014 when he worked for Alden, an experience that led to LebTown’s founding. Our thanks go out to the filmmakers who are letting LebTown host this screening for a nominal fee due to the alignment between our focus on local news and the message of the film.

This screening will be held in the Allen Theater, the county’s last single-screen movie house. Before and after this free screening, you’ll have a chance to meet reporters from LebTown’s newsroom and browse the attached Salamander Bookstore Cafe.
