The Fine Print

These films have not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association of America. They may contain adult themes and/or strong language; some may not be suitable for children. No babes in arms.

Program is subject to change. Please check website regularly for changes.

Some films and events fill up faster than others. It is highly recommended that you purchase tickets ahead of time. This allows us to move popular screenings to larger theaters when available and ensures you get tickets to the screenings and events you are interested in attending.

For advanced ticket purchasers, you MUST be seated at least 15 minutes prior to each event's start time to guarantee admission. Available seating will be sold on a first come first serve basis beginning 15 minutes to the prior to the scheduled start time. For this reason if there is a screening or event you wish to attend that has sold its allotment of tickets, you may still have a good chance of finding a seat. Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Not responsible for lost or stolen tickets or passes.
