The United screens major movie releases all the time, and it brings in concerts featuring area and national acts. Coming up are live shows by Thor Jensen on July 15, Hiss Golden Messenger on Sept. 4 and Billy Bragg on Oct. 7. In addition, the Kingston Chamber Music Festival offers the Dover Quartet at the United on July 26.
There is a July 26 date scheduled for the "Black Voices Film Series."
Lectures and exhibitions are part of the mix as well.
