‘Promise Me’ debuts to universal acclaim

    GRUNDY CENTER — The reaction in the lobby of the Center Theatre following the premier of the Grundy Center based movie “Promise Me” Friday night was nearly universal. People talked of the movie being better than expected; they talked of it being well put together … and most of all they talked of it showing Grundy Center in a positive light.
    Terri Shepard, who played the lead adult role of Diane, said she had no idea what to expect from the film and was pleasantly surprised.
    “The continuity, the way they put it together … everybody in it did a good job,” she said.
    The story featured a pair of plots — one of a couple so entrenched in its their lives that they have forgotten how to love one another, and the other of a writer doing research for a book who discovers the story of former Grundy Center activist and leader Beveridge Nickerson. It was the latter story and a plot twist at the end that had many long-time Grundy Center residents buzzing.
