Movie Showings: Marlee Matlin "Not Alone Anymore"
2025-07-11 08:00 - 2025-07-16 17:00 | Fine Arts Theatres, 3859 West 95th Street, Overland, KS, 66206, United States
Join Us for an Inspiring Film Event!
Next Friday, July 11, we’re excited to open Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore at the Glenwood Arts Theatre in Overland Park, KS. This powerful new documentary highlights Marlee Matlin’s groundbreaking journey as a Deaf actress and activist, offering an emotional and uplifting look at her life, career, and impact.
Showtimes (July 11–16):
🕐 Daily (except Sunday) at 1:15 PM & 7:15 PM
🕐 Sunday at 1:15 PM only
Please spread the word—like all of our films, it will only continue to show based on ticket sales. Let’s help make this story seen and heard!

Marlee Matlin was born into a hearing family, like roughly 95% of Deaf people. Growing up in Illinois, she faced episodes of isolation and abuse. She found joy in performing at a local deaf theater. In 1987, Marlee Matlin became the first Deaf actor to win an Academy Award and was thrust into the spotlight at 21 years old. Reflecting on her life in her primary language of American Sign Language, NOT ALONE ANYMORE explores the complexities of what it means to be a trailblazer. As a child, filmmaker Shoshannah Stern was inspired to believe that a deaf woman like herself could pursue a career as an actor after seeing Matlin win her Oscar. Stern’s directorial debut is an intimate, honest, and loving conversation between two profoundly connected people that weaves together Matlin’s first-person account with interviews from those who know her best.
