The Center welcomes the king of camp, John Waters, for an unforgettable Halloween night of cult cinema and twisted storytelling. Expect an endless bag of transgressive tales and hetero-non-aggressive wit that’ll warm the dark little hearts of non-binary brats everywhere. Waters will present a live director’s commentary and screening of his classic Serial Mom—sharing behind-the-scenes stories, real-life inspirations, and unfiltered observations along the way. Over-sharing? Absolutely. Too much information? Probably. But airing his dirty laundry just makes him feel clean. Includes a post-screening Q&A. Serial Mom is rated R for satirical presentation of strong violence, vulgar language, and sexual episodes. RECOMMENDED FOR PATRONS AGES 18+. PATRONS UNDER THE AGE OF 17 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A GUARDIAN (AGED 21+).
Ages: RECOMMENDED FOR PATRONS AGES 17+
