For those of you who may not know, Kapali Swamy passed away on November 18. You’d recognize his smiling face if you were a regular at The U or WorkPlay in the recent years. Some of his friends are organizing a memorial benefit event in the WorkPlay Theater.
There will be performances by local musicians and music by area DJs. There will also be free buffet-style food available. Proceeds and donations collected at the door will given to the Kapali G. Swamy Scholarship Fund at Birmingham Southern College. The fund is being organized by Kapali’s family to provide a stipend for one winner each year to pursue a complete, independent filmmaking project, which will hopefully serve as a springboard for a career in film.
Kapali was a friend to this site, and we hope that you will take a moment and stop by this event and remember someone who truly loved life.
