We’re excited to announce the film New Providence will be showing one time only at The Bay. The film takes place in 1993 when a cynical New York City sports writer is sent to a small Iowa town to cover the final season of 6-on-6 girls' high school basketball and discovers the town's undying love for the nearly century-old game. His search for a story leads him to the hometown girl turned coach, the star player and her overbearing father, plus a legendary player who hasn't returned to the gym in 40 years. Morro Bay local legend Jack Smith wrote the original story after living in New Providence, Iowa, between 1993 and 1996.
