In Collaboration with ISLANDERS WRITE

Followed by a Q&A with star Ellen Jovin and director Brandt Johnson, moderated by Kate Feiffer

One fall day in 2018, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a sign that said “Grammar Table.” Right away, passersby began excitedly asking questions, telling stories, and filing complaints.

What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend.

Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 US states as Brandt shot the grammar action.

Media outlets across the country celebrated the adventures of the Grammar Table in over 100 print, radio, and television stories.

People from every imaginable background visited the table to share a laugh, settle disputes, and talk about their grammar insecurities.

These conversations took place in small towns and big cities, by bookstores and coffee shops, on beaches and mountainsides.

But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest to bring us all closer together. In a time of extreme social and political division, the Grammar Table is a place of unity and connection. The conversations at the table help answer the question “How can we all get along?”

Come for the grammar. Stay for the humanity.
