Next Thursday night, the Balboa Theater, together with radio station KFOG, are hosting a one-night-only screening of the documentary Bruce Springsteen: The Promise – The Making of “Darkness on the Edge of Town”.
The Promise, a documentary by Grammy and Emmy-winning filmmaker Thom Zimny, combines never-before-seen footage of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band shot between 1976 and 1978, including home rehearsals and studio sessions, with new interviews with Springsteen, E Street Band members, manager Jon Landau, former manager Mike Appel, and others closely involved in the making of the 1978 album, Darkness on the Edge of Town.
Proceeds from the event benefit Bread and Roses, a non-profit whose mission “is dedicated to uplifting the human spirit by providing free, live, quality entertainment to people who live in institutions or are otherwise isolated from society.”
The film is showing in special screenings across the country and the Boss himself has requested that all showings benefit local non-profit film theatres and organizations.
Thursday night’s event will also include giveaways, with audience members eligible to win “The Promise: The Making of Darkness On The Edge of Town” on BluRay DVD, available in stores on May 3rd (Amazon).
Tickets for the screening are $10 and can be purchased in advance online. The Balboa will have two screenings of the film that night, one at 7:30pm and a second one at 9pm.
