ARTS Pick: The Parking Lot Movie captures a different vantage point

In The Parking Lot Movie, the role of attendant goes beyond transactional and becomes a rite of passage. From their seat in the payment booth at The Corner Parking Lot on UVA Grounds, grads and undergrads spend their shifts intellectualizing and lamenting societal ills, from capitalism, anger and justice to car culture, privilege and the American Dream.

Saturday, March 3. $7, 7:30pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 979-1333.

Free news is good news!

Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
