One fall day, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade 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 states as Brandt shot the grammar action. But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest in a divided time to bring us all closer together.

Ellen will set up her nationally acclaimed Grammar Table at the theater by 1:15 PM to answer your most pressing grammar questions, resolve long-standing family grammar disputes, and take complaints. After the screening, please stick around for a Q&A, followed by a book signing of Ellen’s national bestseller.
