GRACIE TO DEBUT ON MSG AT THE MOVIES ON MONDAY

Set in 1978, GRACIE is an inspirational film about a teenage girl who overcomes the loss of her brother and fights the odds to achieve her dream of playing competitive soccer at a time when girls’ soccer did not exist. Based on true events from the lives of the Shue family (producer and co-star Andrew Shue and Academy Award-nominated actress Elisabeth Shue) the film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Lemore Syvan (“Sherrybaby”).

Living in South Orange, New Jersey, 15 year old Gracie Bowen (Carly Schroeder) is the only girl in a family of 3 brothers. Their family life revolves almost entirely around soccer: her father (Dermot Mulroney) and brothers are obsessed with the sport, practicing on their backyard’s makeshift field every day. Tragedy strikes Gracie’s older brother Johnny, star of the local high school soccer team.

Struggling with grief, Gracie decides to fill the void left on her brother’s team by petitioning the school board to allow her to play on the varsity boys team. Gracie, through will and determination, forces her family to come together and help her in her goal.

MSG At The Movies Premieres the critically acclaimed film GRACIE on Monday, July 7th at 8pm.
