MILFORD, PA — The animated film “EPIC” will be shown on a large screen in the historic amphitheater on the grounds of Grey Towers National Historic Site on Saturday, June 21. A related craft activity for youngsters begins at 7 p.m. The film will start at dusk. Families are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets and a picnic dinner; popcorn will be available.

“EPIC,” a film from the creators of “Ice Age” and “Rio,” stars Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson and Beyonce Knowles.
