Tickets are now available for the upcoming screening of "Do It Again" on Thursday, October 28 at 7PM. This is a free event but tickets are required.

Geoff Edgers, a staff arts writer from the Boston Globe, will be coming to Zankel to screen the documentary, "Do It Again" which he produced and starred in about his quest to reunite The Kinks. After the screening, there will be a Q&A with Edgers hosted by Skidmore Music Professor, Gordon Thompson.

The Huffington Post describes "Do It Again" as "a documentary about the collapse of the American Dream and the desperate struggle of Americans to evade the middle-class barbecue, which those still with jobs call a recession. One precarious American, Geoff Edgers, a member of the torched profession of journalism, confronts the possibility of being burnt toast and flushed down the toilet of the American Nightmare by bending the boundaries of reality to embrace a whacky mission to reunite his favorite band, the Kinks.”
