MOVIE NIGHT! Dr Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

Kick back with us for a free community screening of Stanley Kubrick’s cult classic:
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

Expect nuclear paranoia, cold war absurdity, and Peter Sellers at his absolute weirdest — all projected in our cozy darkroom space. Bring your favorite snacks, a few friends, and your best doomsday conspiracy theories. We’ll provide the existential dread.

This event is free, but space is limited. RSVP to lock in your spot — you don’t want to be the last one left out of the war room. Donations are always appreciated.
