REBEL WITH A CLAUSE

Join us for a special screening with director Brandt Johnson, and documentary star and  "Grammar Guru" Ellen Jovin on Tuesday, Sept 23 at 7pm.

September 24th is National Punctuation Day! Don't miss the second screening of Rebel with a Clause at the Lark.

A grammar guru takes her pop-up grammar advice stand on a rollicking road trip across all 50 states to show that comma fights can bring us closer together in a divided time.

SYNOPSIS: One fall day, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade sign that said “Grammar Table.” Right away, passersby began excitedly asking questions, telling stories, and filing complaints. What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend. Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 states as Brandt shot the grammar action. But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest in a divided time to bring us all closer together.
