One Night Only! Take a trip back to the creation of a musical masterpiece with Simon & Garfunkel.

A unique time-capsule of Simon & Garfunkel's writing process and of the late-1960s, The Harmony Game will be included on the forthcoming Bridge Over Troubled Water: 40th Anniversary CD+DVD. Advanced copies of the 40th Anniversary CD+DVD will be given away at each screening. Director: Jennifer LeBeau USA 72min. digital HD Special event, all seats $10
