Michael’s Place, northern Michigan’s only non-profit grief support center, will host special viewing of the Academy Award-nominated film "Hidden Figures" on Friday, April 21 at 7pm at the State Theater.

The film will be shown as part of Michael’s Place’s 8th annual "A Night at the Movies" fundraiser. Retired NASA astronaut and northern Michigan resident Capt. Jerry Linenger will introduce the film and provide a firsthand account of his own space travels.

“Michael’s Place is grateful to all of our generous sponsors that make this event possible, and especially excited to have Capt. Jerry Linenger on hand to lend his exceptional expertise,” said Buell. “In addition to funds raised from ticket sales, their support helps us to continue our mission of providing grief support services at no charge to those in need.”

Hidden Figures tells the story of Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson -- women working at NASA during the Space Race of the 1960s.
