A banking executive and nationally known actress share the stage at Princeton Garden Theater on Sunday, August 28, for a special film screening and Q&A session.

The film is “Equity,” a female-driven Wall Street drama about financial scandal and corruption. And the speakers are actress Alysia Reiner, best known for her roles on “Orange Is the New Black” and “How to Get Away With Murder,” and Barbara Byrne, a co-producer of the film and vice chairman at Barclays.

A Princeton resident, Byrne is chairman of Barclays Americas Citizenship Council and Barclays Social Innovation Facility, a cross-business resource dedicated to the development of self-sustaining commercial solutions to social challenges. She is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society. Byrne’s husband, Tom, is the founder and managing director of Byrne Asset Management in Princeton. A former chair of the State Democratic Committee, he has been mentioned as a possible gubernatorial candidate.

Tickets for the 7 p.m. screening, $11, are available at the box office and online at www.princetongardentheatre.org.
