screen/play is linking up with Okayplayer and Questlove for an intimate tribute to Prince and his Under the Cherry Moon classic.
On July 29th, we’ll gather to honor Prince's musical and cinematic genius in Philadelphia. We’ll pay tribute to Under the Cherry Moon (Questlovecalls it a “classic”) and its brilliant Parade soundtrack with a screening, brunch service, DJ set, live music, and more.
The brunch event will be the fourth edition of screen/play, a live series that celebrates classic films with memorable soundtracks. Taking place at World Cafe Live, doors open at 11:30 a.m., with the show starting at 12:30 p.m. The film will begin following a premiere viewing of an exclusive video letter from Okayplayer’s own Prince expert, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson.
