CHEECH AND CHONG'S UP IN SMOKE with REFFER MADNESS | 4/20 DOUBLE FEATURE
Grab your buds and join us for a hazy and hilarious evening of cinematic celebration as we commemorate 420. Prepare to be transported into the whimsical and absurd world of marijuana with two iconic films that have solidified their places in stoner cinema history.
At 8:00 PM, we kick off with the cult classic REEFER MADNESS. Released in 1936, this propaganda film aimed to warn viewers about the dangers of marijuana use but instead became a unintentionally hilarious satire. REEFER MADNESS follows the melodramatic and exaggerated consequences of marijuana addiction, depicting wild hallucinations, violent outbursts, and societal downfall—all of which are now viewed through a lens of campy entertainment and absurdity.
Then, at 9:30 PM, get ready to roll with laughter as we dive into the ultimate stoner comedy, CHEECH AND CHONG'S UP IN SMOKE! Released in 1978, this film marks the debut of the iconic duo Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. Follow their misadventures as two hapless stoners unwittingly smuggle a van made entirely of marijuana across the border, leading to a series of outrageous escapades filled with unforgettable characters, uproarious moments, and a soundtrack that perfectly captures the spirit of the times.

MACBETH: RALPH FIENNES & INDIRA VARMA | MAY 2ND & 5TH
Thursday, May 2: 7:00
Sunday, May 5: 4:00
Tony and BAFTA Award winner Ralph Fiennes (Antony & Cleopatra, Schindler's List, Coriolanus) and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma (Present Laughter, Game of Thrones, Luther) star in a brand-new ‘full-voltage visceral’ (★★★★ Daily Telegraph) production of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Filmed live at Dock X, a custom-built theatre space in London, this critically acclaimed staging of Macbeth ‘that quickens the pulse, then goes for the jugular’ (★★★★ Financial Times) will be released in cinemas across the UK and selected international territories from 2 May.
Directed by Simon Godwin (Antony & Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, Hansard) with set and costume design by Frankie Bradshaw (Jerusalem, Blues for an Alabama Sky), this is a cinematic and ‘beautifully staged’ (★★★★ WhatsOnStage) production that brings ‘Shakespeare’s tragedy pulsing into the present day’ (★★★★★ The I).
Macbeth is coming. A couple corrupted by their relentless lust for power have blood on their hands. Witness the gripping tale of greed, murder, deception, and superstition on the big screen for a limited time only. Once you cross the line, you can never turn back.
Directed By: Simon Godwin
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Indira Varma
Rated PG-13; Runtime 2hr 30min
CHATHAM COUNTY LINE at THE CAMEO ART HOUSE THEATRE | MAY 3RD
Join us for CHATHAM COUNTY LINE at THE CAMEO ART HOUSE THEATRE on Friday, May 3rd 2024. Doors open at 7:00PM and show begins at 8:00PM. Advance Tickets - $25 / Day Of Tickets - $30
Launched a little more than twenty years ago in Raleigh, North Carolina, Chatham County Line built a devoted local following on the strength of their genre-bending live show—an intoxicating blend of bluegrass, folk, country, and rock and roll—before breaking out internationally with their 2003 self-titled debut. In the years to come, the band would go on to release eight more critically acclaimed studio albums, top the Billboard Bluegrass Chart four times, collaborate with the likes of Judy Collins, Sharon Van Etten, and Norwegian star Jonas Fjeld, earn two gold records in Norway (where they were also twice nominated for the Spellemannprisen, Norway’s equivalent of a Grammy), and share bills with everyone from Guy Clark and Lyle Lovett to Steve Martin & Martin Short and The Avett Brothers. NPR hailed the group as “a bridge between bluegrass traditions and a fresh interpretation of those influences,” while Uncut lauded their “powerful melodies and gorgeous harmonies,” and Pitchfork dubbed their music “timeless.”
