2025-11-11 18:30 - 20:30
Sidney Poitier stars as Virgil Tibbs, a Philadelphia homicide detective passing through rural Mississippi and wrongly detained by bigoted sheriff Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger) on a murder charge. Once cleared, he helps the sheriff solve the case. Poitier and Steiger electrify the screen as their mutual antipathy turns to grudging respect; Lee Grant is outstanding in a supporting role as the victim’s angry widow, with Warren Oates as a creepy deputy. The film won five Oscars®, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Steiger. Quincy Jones’ blues-infused score, with a title song performed by Ray Charles, received a Grammy® nomination for Best Original Score. DIR Norman Jewison; SCR Stirling Silliphant, from the novel by John Ball; PROD Walter Mirisch. U.S., 1967, color, 110 min. NOT RATED
The film begins at 6:45pm, so we’ll assemble in the AFI/Silver lobby at 6:30. RSVPs recommended.

SPARKLE: Treasure Behind the Stove with Storyteller Noa Baum
2025-11-12 14:00 - 15:30 | Silver Spring Civic Building, 1 Veterans' Plaza, Silver Spring, Maryland, 20910
We are pleased to announce a very special SPARKLE event: Treasure Behind the Stove with Storyteller Noa Baum Join us to connect with ancient wisdom and timeless values in this special spoken word performance where personal and traditional stories connect in unexpected ways. With delightful drama and daring, internationally acclaimed storyteller and author Noa Baum offers us gems from her trove of family stories and rich Jewish heritage.
About Noa Baum: Storytelling is the intersection of my work as a performance artist, author, and educator. I focus on the transformative power of storytelling both as performance art and an applicable tool to heal across differences and build bridges of understanding, compassion and peace. My art form can be described as Performance Storytelling – borrowing from principles of traditional storytelling as well as using tools from theater through the mixing of narration and characterization to evoke a story in the audiences’ imagination. I love connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds through stories. I enjoy telling stories from cultures around the world as well as my Jewish heritage. I use stories to promote appreciation of differences, foster collaboration, and spark innovation. I love witnessing the shift in attitude and smiles as workshop participants experience the transformative power of story. But most rewarding is when people come up after a presentation to share their story with me: “That reminded me of a story …”, then I know my work has reached the most important place – their heart.
SPARKLE programs are open to the public. Registration is encouraged. Non Village members may register by emailing operations@silverspringvillage.org or calling 240-833-5580 x 6. Village members may register by logging into the Member Portal and signing up on the members-only events calendar.
