WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Images Cinema will host a fundraising event, "Remembering Christopher Reeve," on Wednesday, May 14, as part of its Look Forward Capital Campaign.

 

The event will begin with a VIP reception at 6 p.m. in the Images Lounge, featuring special guest James Naughton and community members. This will be followed by a screening of the documentary "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" and a conversation in the theater.

 

The Look Forward campaign aims to continue the legacy of Christopher Reeve and enhance accessibility at the theater. Reeve, known for his portrayal of Superman and his involvement with the Williamstown Theatre Festival, also supported Images Cinema's 1989 fundraising campaign.

 

"Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" chronicles Reeve's life from his acting career, including his role as Superman, to his activism for spinal cord injury research and disability rights following a 1995 accident.

 

James Naughton, a two-time Tony Award-winning actor with a history at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, including a 1994 production of "Love Letters" with Christopher Reeve, will be a special guest at the event.

 

Tickets for general admission are $75 per person, and VIP tickets, which include the reception, are $125 per person. VIP tickets are limited due to space constraints. Tickets can be purchased here. Images Cinema is located at 50 Spring St.
