Past Event Cinema in the City: Stop Making Sense

Newly restored in 4K to coincide with its 40th anniversary, join The Nightlight as we present a FREE outdoor screening of STOP MAKING SENSE— arguably one of the greatest concert films of all time. To add to the fun, NCCAkron will be joining us for an (optional) dance party coinciding with the event! Don’t worry; this event is for everyone: introverts, extroverts, avid dancers, and talking heads mega fans alike. Prepare to be transported back in time to Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December of 1983 to watch the Talking Heads perform some of their most memorable songs like never before.

Location: The Bud and Susie Rogers Garden at the Akron Art Museum

Time: Doors open at 7 PM. The film begins around 8:30 PM.

Admission: FREE, but registration is required.

Bring chairs and dress warm!
