The Kentucky Theatre will host a second screening of Proud Citizen today at 7pm.

If you haven’t seen the film, it follows Bulgarian playwright (and phone company employee) Krasimira Stanimirova (Katerina Stoykova-Klemer) as she comes to Kentucky to see her play brought to life. The film is a funny, contemplative look at what it’s like to be a stranger in a strange land as well as a creative force yearning for acceptance and understanding.

The film features the acting of Natalie E. Cummins, Leif Erickson, Ryan Case, and Blakeley Burger as the local theatre company putting on Krasimira’s play and Judy Sanders, Sami Allison, and Elliott Moore Haynes as some of the locals she meets along the way.

If you’ve seen the film and would like to share your thoughts, please visit the Proud Citizen Facebook page and tell the cast and crew!
