Introduce your family to the Golden Age of silent films with the iconic short films of Buster Keaton!

Called “one of the most creative and brilliant comedians in American cinema” by film historian James Neibaur, Buster Keaton was famous for his wild stunts, straight-faced expressions, and perfectly timed physical comedy.

For this special screening, delight in three of Keaton’s classic comedies: One Week, The Boat, and The Haunted House.

To bring the action to life, local music duo Magazinist will use synthesizers, drum machines, MIDI keyboards, and other modern machines to punctuate every fall, crash, and facial expression.

Join us for an afternoon of big laughs and larger-than-life movie magic with one of the greatest actors to light up the silver screen.

Suggested Age: 7+
