On Sunday, May 6, 2018, Webb Institute joined forces with the City of Glen Cove to host a Batman Forever Screening event in Stevenson Taylor Hall. This event was the first of many to come this month for the City of Glen Cove that will be celebrating its 350th Anniversary.
The event was part of Glen Cove’s “Movies in Mansions” series which aims to highlight Glen Cove’s rich filmography. In 1995, Webb Institute’s Stevenson Taylor Hall served as the iconic Wayne Manor in the Batman Forever which starred Val Kilmer, Jim Carey, Nicole Kidman, Tommy Lee Jones, and many others. Students, faculty, and administration who were present for the filming recall the production being a very exciting time on campus.
Over 150 attendees had the chance to take a history and film tour of Webb Institute, take a photo with Batman, enjoy refreshments, and watch a screening of Batman Forever in the auditorium.
The event was a great opportunity for the general public to explore and learn more about Webb as well as celebrate the great City of Glen Cove.
