HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS

With all the talk of Beavers recently, we couldn't help but think of the film that our audiences have been flocking back to for a few years now -  HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS...so we're bringing it for a special screening in early September.
"In this silent supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America’s greatest fur trapper to defeat hundreds of beavers." SCREEN-SPACE writes, "Cheslik and writer/leading man Tews craft a monochromatic masterwork ripe with the DNA of the silent film classics of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd."
Tickets are $10 each.

Tickets are $12.50 each.
