oin the Ruby to watch the movie Tuba Thieves together at The Roxie!

​We'll be meeting at The Roxie's Box Office at 12:45 pm to grab seats together, with the option of after movie drinks to discuss!

​About the Film:

​Deaf filmmaker Alison O’Daniel came across a news report about the unsolved theft of tubas at a number of Los Angeles high schools. She wondered how the students would be able to practice without an instrument. This became the starting point for a visual poem about how people across the deafness spectrum experience sound.

The Tuba Thieves does not only tell the story of the theft, but uses the event as a central thread for an associative tour of a city filled with sound. We see the impact of aircraft noise on residents, and how instruments can connect hearing and deaf musicians. We become part of a world where sound and silence are reframed for all audiences.

Filmmaker Alison O’Daniel will be there in person, in conversation with Jim Lebrecht after the film!
