LAST WEEK OF SUMMER 2010

2010-08-12T10:10:00.000-07:00

THE BIRDCAGE- AUGUST 1ST!

2010-07-26T14:19:00.000-07:00

The Birdcage is this Sunday and boy, are we excited! No rain on the horizon yet so cross your fingers. Robin Williams, Hank Azaria, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane.... In fact, the cast won the Screen Actors Guild Award for an Outstanding Performance by a Cast.

If you're unfamiliar, the general storyline is: A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancé's right-wing moralistic parents.

On another note, we are sorry about having had to reschedule Little Shop of Horrors due to weather BUT that's what prescheduled rain dates are for, thankfully enough!

Here is the updated schedule for the month of August:

8/1 The Birdcage

8/8 Raiders of The Lost Ark

8/15 Little Shop of Horrors

AAAaand of course, don't forget your radios and see you on SUNDAY!

RAIN RAINS OUT RAIDERS

Sorry, folks... but the rain has officially canceled the screening for the evening. However, we CAN go ahead and tell you when to expect your next Raiders opportunity: Sunday, August 8th.

So not to fear! This opportunity will reappear.

7/18: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK + KERNEL KUSTARD POPCORN

2010-07-14T08:28:00.000-07:00

I wouldn't go as far as to CONFIRM that Harrison Ford invaded Kernel Kustard to snag popcorn for Sunday BUT it's a rumor... Regardless, popcorn will be there FREE OF CHARGE. Hooray!
