In celebration of Chain Theatre’s annual International Film Festival, the critically acclaimed comedy troupe The Usual Rejects will return with Send a Maniac to Catch a Maniac: DEMOLITION MAN, a high-octane staged parody event running August 8 and 9 at the Chain Theatre (312 W. 36th Street, 4th Floor, NYC).
Known for sold-out spoofs of Titanic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Star Wars, The Usual Rejects now set their sights on the 1993 cult sci-fi action film Demolition Man, in which Sylvester Stallone's cryogenically thawed supercop is society’s last hope in a sanitized, Taco Bell–dominated future.
Each night begins at 7:30 PM and features a fully staged parody performance, trivia contests, raffle prizes, audience participation, and a silent auction in which one lucky audience member will be crowned “god” with the power to distribute beers to the cast mid-show.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door (includes one complimentary drink).
21+ only. Tickets are available at usualrejects.com.
The event is a fundraiser for Chain Theatre, a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to supporting independent film and theatre in New York City.
