This young man joins an American college team and travels to China in the 1980s in post Cultural Revolution China for an exhibition game against Beijing University. Through this game, history, politics, and deep secrets are revealed. Be at the edge of your seat until the final buzzer!

Onyx Downtown @onyx_downtown presents Guest Fest Guest Pass
$27

This GUEST PASS ($27) counts as a ticket for all four movies in our Guest Fest. Even if you just come to three, you’re still getting a discount!

So come on out to the Christopher Guest Fest, a full month of mockumentaries featuring and often directed by the man himself (and of course Eugene Levy, who co-wrote 3 of the 4 films with Guest but his name just didn’t really fit with anything, sorry Eugene, we love you!). Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind and This is Spinal Tap, along with beer, wine, candy and our famous organic Onyx popcorn. There may be cool themed door prizes, there will hopefully be many laughs, and hey, maybe Christopher Guest will even show up to review Waiting for Guffman…

Sunday 5/7: BEST IN SHOW

Sunday 5/14: WAITING FOR GUFFMAN

Sunday 5/21: A MIGHTY WIND

Sunday 5/28: THIS IS SPINAL TAP
