Creator, Producer Attend Legacy Project Presentation of ‘In the Life’

Creator John Scagliotti and Producer Jacqueline Gares will attend Outfest’s Legacy Project presentation celebrating the Emmy-nominated public television news magazine “In the Life” on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Billy Wilder Theater at 7:30 p.m.

A selection of some of the most memorable moments, featuring Lily Tomlin, Joan Rivers, director Todd Haynes, Liza Minnelli, The Flirtations and original host Kate Clinton, will offer evidence of why the venerable program earned a place as the LGBT community’s media source of record from 1992-2012.

The program documented the community’s diversity, long-term struggles and triumphs, and the Legacy Project has recently obtained almost 200 “In the Life” episodes, along with outtakes and other related materials.  These programs will be made available to researchers and the public for free, principally on a new digital portal that will launch this fall.

Outfest members receive 2 for 1 admission at the Billy Wilder Theater box office for all Legacy Project screenings.
