Maiden Alley Cinema and Yeiser Art Center are co-hosting a special screening of WHO IS STAN SMITH? to raise money for the local organization, Harrison Street Serves, which combines education and tennis as part of a national program started by Arthur Ashe. Harrison Street Serves is an umbrella organization under the Paducah Tennis Association. Ticket sales will go to support the organization.
More than the namesake of one of the most iconic sneakers, Stan Smith has lived a champion’s life on and off the tennis court. Chronicling his rise from collegiate superstar to World No.1 and beyond, Smith blazed new paths for athletes, both as a fashion icon and a humanitarian. Complete with intimate first-person accounts and dynamic archival materials, Danny Lee’s film brings us closer to the man behind the shoe.
