The Grand Illusion

50th anniversary! Join us for this special screening of Brian De Palma's cult classic rock musical. For $25 you get to see an amazing movie and help us relocate. 

A disfigured composer (William Finley, SISTERS) sells his soul for the woman (Jessica Harper) he loves so that she will perform his music. However, an evil record tycoon (Paul Williams) betrays him and steals his music to open his rock palace, The Paradise. 

This screening is generously sponsored by Stephanie Kurtz Mascis, an employee of the Grand Illusion during its 80s incarnation.

For all of our fundraiser screenings, if you see a “Sold Out” message on the ticketing page it means we sold all of our 68 seats. We’ll start a wait list for door sales, but no guarantees we’ll have extra tickets.

Part of our 20th Anniversary Celebration Series!

“A crazy, savage film — iconoclastic and truly liberating.” Richard Schickel, Time Magazine

“The film is a one-of-a-kind entertainment, with a kinetic, breakneck wit.” Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
