Due to the enormous excitement over this special event, the Saturday night screening of Pope Joan sold out much earlier than expected. But don’t be disappointed: you may still have a chance to be part of the excitement. We added a matinee at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 3.
The Sunday show is close to selling out as well. There are still some tickets available due to cancellations. Please call (315) 637-9511 to check on availability.
Here’s what’s involved on Sunday: at 3 p.m., you can see the videotape of author Donna Woolfolk Cross’s Saturday talk—the hilarious and enlightening story behind the making of the movie. Her talk will be followed immediately by the movie screening. Afterward, Donna will be on hand for a Q&A with the audience and for a book/audiobook signing.
If you purchased tickets for either show and have not received them yet, please pick them up at the box office when you arrive for the event.

For 1,200 years her existence has been denied. Pope Joan is the legend that will not die, the woman who disguised herself as a man and sat for two years on the papal throne. Based on the international bestseller by author Donna Woolfolk Cross, the film brings the Dark Ages to life in all their brutal splendor, and shares the dramatic story of a woman whose courage makes her a heroine for every age.
