ANIMAL HOUSE in HD this August at The Ridgefield Playhouse

It's time to grab your toga and return to Faber College for the wildest frat party ever when "National Lampoon's Animal House" joins the lineup of Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies' TCM Big Screen Classics series. This special screening will take place on Wednesday, August 17 at 7 p.m. as part of the AAA Northeast at The Playhouse Live in HD Series, and includes specially produced commentary from a TCM host before and after the feature. From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, "National Lampoon's Animal House" stars comedy legend John Belushi and is the ultimate college movie filled with food fights, fraternities and toga parties. Follow the uproarious escapades of the Delta House fraternity as they take on Dean Wormer (John Vernon), the sanctimonious Omegas, and the entire female student body. Directed by John Landis ("The Blues Brothers"), the most popular college comedy of all time also stars Tim Matheson, Donald Sutherland, Karen Allen, Kevin Bacon, Tom Hulce and Stephen Furst along with Otis Day and the Knights performing their show-stopping rendition of "Shout."
