APOLLO UPTOWN HALL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE VIEWING PARTY

The Apollo continues to be a natural gathering place and “town hall” for local community residents as well as people from across New York City. This was demonstrated by the huge crowds that gathered under the Theater’s iconic marquee in response to world events such as the 2008 presidential election outcome and the passing of James Brown and Michael Jackson. Launched in September 2012, the Apollo Uptown Hall is a forum for presenting and discussing timely issues relevant to the community, the country, and the world, incorporating video, texting, and live performance to enhance and develop an interactive forum for community gathering and discussion.
The Apollo will host a viewing party of the first presidential debate of the 2016 general election between Democratic and Republican nominees. Prior to the screening of the presidential debate, there will be a panel discussion with several respected political analysts, who will discuss issues important to the community, followed by a Q&A with the audience. Preceding the event, there will be live entertainment and a DJ.
