--- SPECIAL EVENTS ---

One of the most-protested comedies in history is coming to Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse!  The protesting groups were, of course, the Romans, who did not at all appreciate their portrayal in this "highly biased" and "unfairly pessimistic" depiction of government-sponsored crucifixion.


(Rated R)(2hr 16mins)  
Stanley Kubrick's 1971 classic about morality and psychological control caused such an uproar that Kubrick himself demanded that it be pulled from theaters.  Put on your best codpiece, gather together some of your best droogs, and get ready for a dystopian evening of ultraviolence, Beethoven, and milk.



If you haven't seen this classic, consider yourself on a mission from God to see it. Come check us out at Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse.  Suggested meal pairings: four fried chickens and a Coke, or some dry white toast, nothin' on it.


Director Alejandro Jodorowsky was received with great fanfare after none other than John Lennon and George Harrison lauded his 1970 film El Topo.  Lennon was so impressed that he and Yoko put up the production money for Jodorowsky's next film, The Holy Mountain.  The result, as you might have anticipated, is wildly surrealistic and follows the journey of a thief as he attempts to turn the excrement that is his life into gold. 


Comedians Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher are back to serve up some of their all-time greatest VHS finds, with newly discovered footage and updates on the people in these videotaped obscurities. Highlights include:
 
-An arts & crafts instructional video by a woman who is psychotically enthusiastic about sponge painting
-A montage of exercise video weirdos, including Angela Lansbury, Traci Lords, and a Rastafarian rooster
-On-air mishaps from a local pet advice call-in show called Petpourri


Nothing more exciting than having your name appear in a prestigious publication like the phone book just before an oil-can-hating madman almost catches you in the crossfire!  Poor black child Navin R. Johnson invites you on his odyssey to the end of the fence and beyond.  All you'll need is the remote control, the ashtray, the chair, the paddle-ball game, etc.


It's horror!  It's comedy!  It's a musical!  It's Japanese!  Claymation!  Martial arts!  There's not much that Takashi Miike leaves out of his 2001 film The Happiness of the Katakuris, which has been described as "A delirious splatter-musical that imagines what might have happened if the Von Trapp family had wandered into Dawn of the Dead." (Mike D'Angelo, Time Out New York)


A master of reinvention, Kilmer transforms himself into the "First American," Mark Twain, in a comedic and moving performance that is both contemporary and reflective. The piece is based on the life of the man, Samuel Clemens, and of course his writings as Mark Twain. From his thoughts on politics (including his famous disdain for the U.S. Congress), to his family and ultimately his faith and God, Twain spins a series of yarns with his timeless satire and incomparable wit. Mr. Kilmer will introduce the 90-minute film and conduct a question and answer period with the audience following the screening. VIP ticket holders will have an opportunity to meet Val, chat, and take photos after the Q&A.

--- Sketch & Improv Classes ---

Sketch Comedy has been the cornerstone for comedy creativity for many years, including Late Night talk shows, SNL, Monty Python, MadTV, and more. Join us for our Level 1 Sketch Writing course with veteran Stephen Hale. Students will get stage time to perform their material in front of a live audience at Drafthouse Comedy in DC and/or the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse. Additionally, willing students can form in house troops and perform along national headliners as they continue to develop their skills. Time to get your creative comic juices flowing.

This course in an introduction to sketch comedy, writing short comedic scenes, rehearsing and working towards building a show that the students will perform in.  Each week students will explore different sketch formats and be asked, each week, to bring in a new sketch based on a specific format.
 
The goal of Drafthouse Comedy Level 1 Sketch Writing is to push students to not be afraid to fail in their writing, make big choices and take risks. Finding your own voice through the guidance and support of your teacher is what we strive to have you achieve.
 
The course will run for 8 total weeks.  5 weeks of writing, discussing and collaborating on new material.  2  weeks of rehearsing and exploring chosen sketches for the show and the final show, which will be held on the last day (8th week) of class.  
 
No prior sketch writing experience is necessary - the only requirement for this class is a desire to write, perform and learn.  Students should be prepared to work outside of class, writing new sketches, for the first 5 weeks of class. 
 
Class Size: Max of 10 Students. Tuesday 7pm - 9:30pm (Aug 29, Sept 5, 12, 19, 26, Oct 3, 10, 17)
