To celebrate the 101th birthday of the late American novelist, Friends of Jack Kerouac hosts a screening of “Go Moan for Man,” a documentary from 2000 that details the life and legacy of the iconic, dead beat and former St. Petersburg resident.

After the Sunday screening of the film described as “the literary odyssey of Jack Kerouac,” the organization stages an educational panel with Judy Sharples, producer of the film and wife of the late director Doug Sharples, the owner of St. Pete’s Jack Kerouac house, and more.

Local nonprofit Friends of Jack Kerouac hosts a slew of different events to commemorate his birthday this week, from trivia nights to bike rides.

Tickets to the “Go Moan for Man” screenings at Green Light Cinema in St. Petersburg on Sunday March 12 at 2 p.m. & 5 p.m. are still available and start at $11.
