To honor and celebrate the memory of a U-M Screen Arts & Cultures graduate who died in May, a reading of Matthew Reichl's Hopwood Award-winning screenplay "Ageless, Ohio" will take place on Thursday, October 22 at 7 p.m. at the U-M Museum of Art's Helmut Stern Auditorium.

"Ageless" tells the story of a father-and-son crime tea on the run from even worse criminals. When they stumble upon a fantasy town permanently stuck in the 1950s, they must decide whether to stay or leave before "Paradise" vanishes forever.

Following the reading, screenwriting professor Jim Burnstein and some of Matthew's classmates — screenwriters V. Prasad, Dan Shere, and Craig & Laurie Silverstein — will lead a discussion.
