Join the Athenaeum Film Fan Club for our monthly comedy movie with free popcorn and soft drinks.  This month features three silent film comedies. With an introduction by host Damian Ryan. 

Noises Off, the 1992 film directed by Peter Bogdanovich, is based on the 1982 farce by Michael Frayn about a chaotic theatre troupe.

Hired to helm an Americanized take on a British play, director Lloyd Fellowes (Michael Caine) does his best to control an eccentric group of stage actors. During practice sessions, things run smoothly. However, when Lloyd and his actors begin a series of performances leading up to a Broadway premiere, chaos ensues. Star actress Dotty (Carol Burnett) is quickly passing her prime, male lead Frederick (Christopher Reeve) has no confidence, and bit actor Selsdon (Denholm Elliott) is rarely sober.

This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.
