The Ashland Theatre is partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association to host an evening dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, with an award-winning film and a panel discussion.

The event, set for Thursday, Aug. 21, will open with a screening of “The Father” (2020), starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman. Hopkins earned the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of a man living with dementia.

After the screening, a representative from the Alzheimer’s Association will moderate a panel discussion focused on recognizing the signs of Alzheimer’s and understanding the challenges of supporting those diagnosed. Attendees will get the chance to ask questions and share resources. A full list of panelists will be announced soon.

The evening is sponsored by Hanover Manor, with tickets already on sale.
