Koalas, Piglets And Porcupines: 'Sing' To Screen At The Plaza

DOUGLASTON, QUEENS — Douglaston families will be treated to an outdoor movie at Douglaston Station Plaza when the Douglaston Local Development Corporation presents a free screening of “Sing” on Aug. 25.

Starring the voices of such actors as Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane and Scarlett Johansson, “Sing” tells the story of a koala who presides over a theater that, once majestic, has fallen on hard times.

The event will be held 7:30 to 10 p.m. “Sing” is rated PG and debuted in theaters in 2016.

Seating will be limited, and organizers are encouraging movie-goers to bring their own chairs. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)
