Free Events
All we can tell you is that it's a movie and it's bad. Join us for our celebration of bad cinema. Surprises + Fun and it's free! Grab a drink at our bar, you're going to need it.
*This is a FREE event and SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Registering is strongly recommended to help with the check in process but does not guarantee a seat, and due to the popularity of this event seats can not be saved for folks who have not arrived yet. As always, our lobby bar & concessions are open to the public so if you arrive after the theatre has hit capacity please feel free to stick around for some food, drink, and board games. Also please note that these screenings often have audience engagement occurring during the film.
