Point Break Live!
When: Saturday August 31, 8pm (7:00 doors)
Where: Littlefield, 622 Degraw Street
What: LA’s longest-running stage show is back in Brooklyn this weekend, bringing “90s action, grit, gore and unintentionally hilarious dialogue of the original film.” Make note, though: audience participation is a big part of the show, with the starring role performed by an audience member (as selected in an impromptu “Are U Keanu?” contest) and the rest of the crowd as the movie’s fake blood- and rain- soaked extras. Sounds like chaotic and messy wish-fulfillment for anyone who ever wanted to be a 90s action star.
How much: Tickets $26, available here. They go quickly!
Novelization: A Reading Series Based On The Original Motion Picture
When: Saturday August 31, 8pm (7:30 doors)
Where: Union Hall, 702 Union Street
What: Have you ever loved a movie so much and thought to yourself, This would make an even better novel? Well, some people did. And some other people– very funny people– will be doing dramatic readings of these great works. It’s an exciting lineup, too; performers include Chris Gethard, Eliot Glazer, Sue Smith, among others.
How much: $7, tickets available here.
Sunday Screen: Animal House
When: Sunday September 1, 8pm
Where: Canal Bar, 270 3rd Avenue
