Head to the historic WAPA Theatre for an evening of film, history, and community spirit, hosted by the Ohio Astronauts non-profit. The evening will feature screenings of the documentaries “Cradle of Astronauts” and “One Small Visit”, a short film set in Wapakoneta by filmmaker Jo Chim.

“Cradle of Astronauts” is a captivating 25-minute work-in-progress documentary that weaves together the narratives of Ohio’s legendary astronauts—John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Jim Lovell, and Judy Resnik—with the personal odyssey of Bill Hinsch, an artist grappling with adversity. His monumental 12 ft x 9 ft painting, now proudly displayed in the Ohio Statehouse Rotunda, serves as a testament to his perseverance and talent. With aspirations to expand the documentary to a full hour, efforts are underway to secure funding for the remaining 35 minutes, with all proceeds from this event dedicated to its completion.
