AUDITORIUM
Christmas has come and gone. The New Year doesn't seem so new anymore. WYGD? Laugh it off!
On our new night of Wednesday, it's comedy night at The Eclectic Cinema with a screening of The Blues Brothers, in which said brothers (Jake and Elwood) get the band together again after a break that has been necessitated by Jake's incarceration. Finding and persuading the old band members to come back takes time, ingenuity and plenty of bullshit, but despite every setback, the brothers succeed where others might have failed because they...they are on a mission...a mission...from God (or at least Sister Mary Stigmata). Hallelujah!
This film is cult classic; it's fun; it's funny; it has an extraordinary soundtrack and an astounding cast to support Belushi and Ackroyd in their roles - including Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Chaka Khan, Ray Charles, Carrie Fisher and Twiggy.
So, pack up your troubles, and join us for a fun night at The Eclectic Cinema! (Suitable clothing and accessories are encouraged.)
