Presented in partnership with Chicago History Museum, join the Chicago Sinfonietta for a FREE film screening of The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat, complete with Q & A with author and Chicago Sinfonietta cellist Edward Kelsey Moore, and a short performance by the Chicago Sinfonietta’s String Quartet.

A literary and musical masterpiece, this heartwarming film is based on Edward Kelsey Moore’s New York Times best-selling novel with an award-winning soundtrack composed by Kathryn Bostic, former Artist-in-Residence for the Chicago Sinfonietta. The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat follows lifelong best friends Odette (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor), Barbara Jean (Sanaa Lathan), and Clarice (Uzo Aduba) known as “The Supremes,” who share the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood from decades of weathering life’s storms. Through the joys and sorrows of life, marriage and children, happiness and blues, love and loss, new shades of heartbreak and illness threaten to stir up the past when the trio sees their bond put to the test as they face their most challenging times yet.
