Film Screening: This is My Life - Thursday, May 8, 1:00 - 3:30 pm

Nora Ephron’s 1992 directorial debut follows Dottie, a single mother who dreams of becoming a comedienne. After receiving an inheritance, she trades her Macy’s cosmetics job for a mic on the stand-up circuit, and becomes an overnight success. Unfortunately, this leaves little time for her family, and when Dottie starts to neglect her kids, date her manager, and use details from her children’s lives as material for her comedy routines, it's the last straw for her daughters. This event is presented in partnership with Toronto Public Library as part of its Jewish Heritage Series.
