On the Reach lawn at the Kennedy Center, don’t miss the next installment of their summer movie series with the original 1994 “The Lion King.” The classic that launched a film franchise that continues today (and a Tony Award-winning musical!) still remains the very best in animation. Registration to watch the movie isn’t required but recommended. Don’t forget to check the website the day of the film screening in case of location changes due to weather or heat.
