Past theater manager, author, thespian who contributed to the LA City College's Theater Academy for 23 years, he explores the feature with patrons as a film buff and creator of his ongoing and successful "Monthly Classic Film Series".
The Series is free. So are the jokes. Prof O'Connell has a deep understanding of the subjects, actors, and issues covered in each title and a sense that this can be a way to appreciate the Valley's history, bring new members into the Friends of Granada Hills Branch Library, and entertain and enlighten neighbors and library patrons.
