American Stage Presents THE ROOM 9/26

American Stage Theatre Company continues its "After Hours" series with the theatre's first movie offering, St. Petersburg's only showing of the new cult classic, THE ROOM, September 26 at 8 p.m. Co-produced by Hawk and Wayne productions, plastic spoons will be provided at the door.

Wearing tuxedos, Johnny look-a-like contests, tossing footballs, shouting at the screen and throwing plastic spoons! Sounds like an awful night at the movies... or an insanely fun one. Come see what the fuss is all about. THE ROOM is the new interactive cult classic film that's quickly becoming the "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" for the 21st century. Look it up, but more importantly witness if for yourself. It must be seen to be believed.

THE ROOM has been cited by some critics as one of the worst films ever made and has been called "the Citizen Kane of bad movies." After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following and continues to have midnight screenings around the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The film is rife with continuity errors, inconsistent plots and subplots, badly synced dubs and character details that are introduced, then instantly abandoned...which only adds to the hilarity.

"We are so excited to bring this new cult classic to St. Petersburg," said Todd Olson, American Stage's producing artistic director. "You really have to experience this insanity."
Performances and ticket prices are as follows:
Sunday, September 26 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are "Pay-What-You-Can" (suggested $5-$15) at the door and $15 in advance.
