An Evening with Ken Burns: Screening & Discussion about Baseball: The Tenth Inning

Theatre : Bank of America Theatre, Chicago Illinois
Dates : August 19, 2010
Other information: 6:30pm


WTTW, Bank of America and Broadway In Chicago present An Evening with Ken Burns in anticipation of the new documentary series, BASEBALL: THE TENTH INNING.

Thousands of at-bats, three home run records, and one “curse” have been broken since Ken Burns last explored the history of America’s national pastime with his landmark PBS series BASEBALL. Now, Burns and co-director Lynn Novick continue the series with THE TENTH INNING. Beginning with a crippling strike that alienated millions of fans and brought the game to the brink, this new film tells the tumultuous story of our national pastime up to the present. It celebrates baseball’s new Golden Age – an era of unprecedented home run totals, popularity, and prosperity — and sheds light on one of the game’s darkest chapters – the steroid era.

During this exciting summer evening event at the Bank of America Theatre in Chicago, Ken Burns will show parts of his new film, talk about the “making of,” and answer your questions.

NOTE: $12 tickets are available for WTTW members and Bank of America or Merrill Lynch employees. To learn how to receive the discounted ticket, contact the organization with which you are affiliated or visit wttw.com/events for special promotional code.
