    Shawn Mendes: For Friends and Family Only (A Live Concert Film) will play in theaters for one night only Nov. 14. It is being presented in cinemas by Trafalgar Releasing.

    For Friends and Family Only celebrates the release of Mendes' album Shawn on Nov. 15 and will see the 26-year-old singer-songwriter give "a heartfelt performance" of the album in its entirety for the first time.

    "Filmed at the historic Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, N.Y., Shawn treats the audience to more than just a concert as he shares personal stories and the inspiration behind each track from the album, giving fans an intimate look at the creative journey that shaped the music," a press release reads.

    Shawn is described as Mendes' "most musically intimate and lyrically vulnerable album to date, guiding listeners through a profound self-dialogue with each song."

    "Performing this album for the first time in such an intimate setting, surrounded by close friends, family, and the people who helped bring it to life, was truly special. I'm excited for fans around the world to feel that same connection through the film and get to experience the 'Friends & Family' shows before the album release," Mendes said in a statement.
