The night after the major leagues’ opening day, Red River Theatres will host a different baseball-related opening.
The Concord venue will screen a preview of Ken Burns’s new film, Jackie Robinson, tonight at 6 p.m.
The event, which will also be run by New Hampshire Public Television, will feature a guest panel, which was supposed to include Gordon Edes, the Boston Red Sox’s official historian. After Monday’s game was postponed, he remained in Cleveland. Edes covered the Red Sox for 18 years, first with the Boston Globe, then with ESPN.
The film will be shown in the Lincoln Financial Cinema and is open to the public, free of charge. Burns, a New Hampshire-based documentarian, previously tackled the sport with 1994’s Baseball, which won an Emmy for Outstanding Informational Series.
