Hayao Miyazaki’s debut feature revisits a character he directed for television―gentleman thief Lupin the 3rd. Grandson to Maurice Leblanc’s French literary master thief Arsène Lupin, Lupin the 3rd is
a Swinging Sixties-style, James Bond-like charmer who steals for thrills. Stuck with counterfeit bills after a Monaco casino heist, Lupin and his sidekicks hightail it to the mysterious principality of Cagliostro to find the source of the fake money. In the process, the trio becomes embroiled in palace intrigue between Count Cagliostro and Princess Clarisse. An energetic caper, Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro is a stylish start to a brilliant oeuvre.
The first feature-length theatrical film to bring this small-screen community to the big screen, Follow That Bird is a freewheeling road musical that follows 8-foot-tall avian Big Bird (Carroll Spinney in a heart-melting performance) from his placement with a foster family to his trek back to his real home on Sesame Street.

Our ears go way back with STRFKR. Way back to 2010, when Eric was a music coordinator at MTV and helped place their music in the show I Just Want My Pants Back. They’ve been stuck in our heads ever since.
What makes STRFKR so addicting is how their music just gives you the feels. The lyrics and sound create that euphoric feeling that puts you in the best mood ever. Although many of their songs wrestle with heavy themes, they wrap all of it in a sound so upbeat and danceable that you almost don't catch it until the third or fourth listen. It's that push and pull that can only be created through true artistry, and it's something STRFKR has absolutely nailed time and time again.
That's why we're stoked to announce The Wild Honey Pie Little Pizza Party with STRFKR, performing solo with cellist yeemz. Driven by Rivian.
Join us Saturday, April 4, at Rivian Venice for a night full of Prince St. Pizza, music, and the best fans in the world. The party is driven by Rivian with support from Shure, Open Water, and Partiful.
Free pizza and drinks served.

A Depression era-set Southern Gothic thriller, The Night of the Hunter tells an adult story through the eyes of children. Actor-turned-director Charles Laughton described it as a “fairy tale of the Big Bad Wolf’s pursuit of the Little Pigs.” Robert Mitchum stars as the wolf in preacher’s clothing pursuing the two children of a widow (Shelley Winters) who know about a stash of ill-gotten loot. A dream-like work thanks in part to the unique cinematography by Stanley Cortez, it turns feverishly on dualities — heaven and hell, good versus evil, the sacred and profane — while paying homage to the silent era with Lillian Gish also starring.—Theater Manager Lauren Brown
