Foxdale Village and Northwest Bank are hosting a special Centre Region screening of “Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me” at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 14, at the State Theatre in downtown State College.
This award-winning film, produced by Trevor Albert and James Keach and directed by James Keach, recounts Campbell’s unprecedented 2011 tour. Anticipated to last five weeks, the tour extended to include 151 spectacular sold out shows over a triumphant year and a half. What makes this tour extraordinary is that Glen had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Campbell was told to hang up his guitar and prepare for the inevitable. Instead, he and his wife went public with his diagnosis and announced that he and his family would set out on a “Goodbye Tour.” The film documents this amazing journey as Campbell and his family attempt to navigate the wildly unpredictable nature of his progressing disease using love, laughter and music as their medicine of choice.
The cast includes: Glen Campbell, Kim Campbell, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Clinton, The Edge, Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Vince Gill, Jimmy Webb, Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Steve Martin, Chad Smith and Taylor Swift.
Whether you are a fan of Glen Campbell, a person living with Alzheimer’s, a loved one of someone with Alzheimer’s, a health care provider or a film buff, this film promises to inform, entertain and captivate you. To learn more, you can visit the official website: www.glencampbellmovie.com.
