Transylvanian Lip Treatment presents Midnight Picture Show USA 1975 | digital | Dir:  Jim Sharman | 100min | R Saturday, August 20  |  Midnight  |  $6 17+ unless accompanying parent or adult guardian This campy cult classic (which unfortunately, we can't name here, but you can watch the trailer over there) is the most popular midnight movie of all time.  A corn-fed all-American couple stumbles onto a creepy castle one night when their car breaks down, entering a world they never dreamed existed. The castle turns out to be inhabited by a collection of kinky Transylvanian freaks led by a mad bisexual transvestite.  The film gained notoriety as the most successful midnight movie ever, in which hundreds of cult fans show up in costume and act out scenes from the movie. You are not allowed to bring your own props.  Prop kits are available at the show.  Prop kits include rice (during the wedding scene at the very beginning, throw yours in celebration), a newspaper (during the rain scene, keep dry), noise maker (during the creation speech, celebrate and MAKE SOME NOISE), toilet paper (when the doctor breaks through the lab wall, hurl your "scotts" tissue), and toast (make your toast during the birthday dinner...toss it), will be available at the show for $4.  YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME IN COSTUME. Doors open at 11:00pm.  Virgin sacrifice before the show.  The movie begins at Midnight.     Next Midnight Picture Show - Saturday, September 24

#CreedIndy

Mad Hatter Shows present An Evening of Music and Comedy Creed Bratten Thursday August 25  |  8:00p  |  $20/$40 advance Fans of NBC’s The Office best know Creed Bratten as the disturbingly hilarious, popular character of the same name.   What most do not know is, not only has he been acting since the late 60s in films such as Mask and Heart Like a Wheel, he’s a bona fide classic rocker extraordinaire and a founding member of the legendary rock band The Grass Roots – makers of hits such as “Let’s Live for Today” and “Midnight Confessions”. Since joining the cast of The Office, Bratton released a trio of solo albums – 2008’s Creed Bratton, 2010’s Bounce Back and 2012’s Tell Me About It.  Even with his busy TV acting schedule, including "Garfunkle and Oats," "Franklin and Bash," "Liz and Dick," and in films such as "Terri", "The Sound of Magic" and "The Ghastly Love of Johnny X," Brattonremains extremely active in music.  His live one man show is a perfect example of Creed's ability to combine his immense musical talents with his unique, one of a kind comedic mind.

#ARTvsART proudly serving at this event

Primary Colours presents ART vs ART:  Paint Day where art is born Saturday, August 27  |  10:00a to 4:00p  |  free to watch HOW ART VS ART WORKS WE'RE STEP 1: READY, SET, PAINT! On Sunday August 21, 2016, at Fort Harrison, and Saturday, August 27, 2016, at the Irving Theater, competing artists have only four hours to paint using identical provided materials including an 18x24 canvas, a pack of five brushes, and acrylic paints in red, yellow, blue, black and white. STEP 2: VOTE ONLINE OR IN PERSON. Completed paintings are photographed and posted online where site visitors can vote for their three favorites.  There are so Many Ways to Vote! STEP 3: SAVE THE ART. The 32 paintings with the most votes are displayed at the Main Event, held on Friday, September 25, 2016, at the Vogue Theatre in Broad Ripple. At the show, the audience members can preview the work and fill out a ballot for their three favorites.  The top 16 vote-getters then battle it out on stage, where two randomly selected finalists square off head-to-head.  The winning painting advances to the next round.  The losing painting faces the threat of destruction as determined by a spin of the ominous Wheel of Death.  Audience members can save paintings from impending doom by buying them. Artists keep 70% of the sales of their paintings.  Paintings that don't make it to the Top 32 are sold at the event for $50. An auctioneer from Christy's start the bids at a minimum amount depending on the round - Round 1: $200, Round 2: $300, Round 3: $400, Round 4: $500.  Anxiety builds as the wheel spins because if the spin lands on Instant Death, the painting is not auctioned and faces immediate destruction.  The artist of the last painting standing is crowned the Art vs. Art 2016 champion and will receive the traveling title belt, full bragging rights, a serenade, and an oversized check for the Grand Prize.
