Coolidge Corner Theatre To Host Kevin Bacon, Aldis Hodge For Q&A

BROOKLINE, MA — Golden Globe award-winning actor Kevin Bacon and Screen Actors Guild winner Aldis Hodge are set to "come to" the Coolidge Corner Theatre Thursday.

The movie theater is virtually screening the Season 2 premiere episode of the Boston-based drama series "City on a Hill," followed by a virtual Q&A with cast members Kevin Bacon, Aldis Hodge, Jill Hennessy, and Lauren E. Banks, moderated by The Boston Globe's Kevin Cullen.

The virtual screening and Q&A is part of a number of events the iconic movie house has taken on in an effort to stay part of the community amid the pandemic. Here's how to RSVP.

The show depicts a fictional crime-ridden early 1990s Boston. The premise in the first season has an enthusiastic assistant district attorney Decourcy Ward, played by Aldis Hodge, arriving in town to clean things up. The white, good ole boy corrupt FBI investigator Jackie Rohr, played by Kevin Bacon, describes the new guy as an "affirmative action hire," but ultimately the two form an alliance to take on the criminal justice system. Things get complicated in season two.
