Concert at art museum is followed by Akron’s own ‘The Instructor’
The Instructor is a famously cheesy martial arts movie made in Akron in 1984, featuring an epic chase through the streets and a fight in the Cuyahoga River below the Gorge Dam. The Akron Art Museum will show the film at 9 p.m. with a new score by local musicians, including a preview reel with music by Mark Mothersbaugh. This follows the Downtown@Dusk concert with 15 60 75 The Numbers Band, which starts at 6:30 p.m. in the new garden space outside. http://akronartmuseum.org.
