Join the Fun at the NYC Premiere of Rebel with a Clause
On National Grammar Day, March 4, a vibrant gathering of grammar enthusiasts will welcome the docu-comedy Rebel with a Clause at the SVA Theatre in Manhattan. This entertaining film showcases an engaging journey through the United States with a focus on a beloved subject: grammar.
A Unique Grammar Road Trip
Rebel with a Clause follows language expert Ellen Jovin, who travels to all 50 states with her pop-up advice stand, known as the Grammar Table. The film captures her encounters with total strangers as she offers guidance on various grammar questions posed on the street. Under the direction of her husband, Brandt Johnson, this grassroots project transforms ordinary moments into meaningful discussions about a topic often overlooked.
Highlighting National Grammar Day
Designed as a tribute to National Grammar Day, the premiere will not only showcase the film but will also host a lively Q&A session led by Mary Norris, a former copy editor at The New Yorker and author of Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen. This interactive experience invites attendees to engage with Jovin and Johnson, deepening the connection between grammar and the community.
The Journey of the Grammar Table
The Grammar Table has garnered attention through various media outlets, including the New York Times, National Public Radio, and CBS Evening News. Jovin notes, "Conversations at the table are filled with laughter and camaraderie as individuals from all walks of life share their grammar insecurities, sparked by relatable interactions in places from bustling cities to serene beaches. This film is a joyful exploration of how language shapes our discussions and connections."
The Impact of the Film
The docu-comedy illustrates that the pursuit of proper grammar extends beyond technical rules—it’s about nurturing understanding in a time when division can seem insurmountable. Johnson explains, "While we present a story that’s essentially about grammar, the underlying message transcends how we communicate, aiming to bridge divides through shared knowledge and humor."
Premiere Screening Details
The NYC premiere signifies a momentous occasion as it follows the film's initial debut in Washington, D.C., where it premiered to an enthusiastic audience. The 85-minute documentary will continue to grace screenings at universities, libraries, and festivals nationwide, championing the relevance of grammar across different settings.
Jovin's preceding book, Rebel with a Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian, published by HarperCollins, has resonated with readers, transforming into a national bestseller last year. As it gains popularity, a paperback version will become available soon.
Tickets for the premiere at SVA Theatre are priced at $25. Attendees can find further details and ticket purchasing options through the film’s dedicated site.
An Invitation to Celebrate Language
"Join us for a memorable evening as we celebrate the art of language through film and lively discussion, honoring the unsung hero of communication: grammar," invitations Johnson.
