CODA at the Cabot

The Cabot Theate became the scene of one of the season's most meaningful and memorable events: a screening of *CODA* with reception and panel discussion, all to support **Manship Artists Residency.** Several of the film’s principles were present along with a large population communicating with ASL, American Sign Language. The quarry scenes in *CODA* were filmed at Manship, which deepened the sense of place in this shared viewing of a great film and a night to support one of our region’s premier cultural destinations.

Participating in the entire event, reception, screening and panel discusstion were Troy Kotsur, Academy Award for Supporting Actor and Director Sian Heder who received the Academy Award for Best Writing of Adapted Script.
