Join film historian Glenn Andreiev for a laugh filled class spotlighting Producer Hal Roach’s unstoppable Rascals.

The depression era antics of Our Gang (aka The Little Rascals) have become for many, well memorized gems of American folklore. Clips from their silent-era beginnings, their early talkie zenith, and their later years at MGM will be presented.  Included will be a look into Hal Roach’s wild comedy factory. Relive the fun as Our Gang, along with Pete the Pooch, face down bizarre criminals of all sizes, Butch the bully, Algebra the crazed Mule, pirates, a prize-filled groaning cake, and more.
