The Big Lebowski
25th Anniversary Presentation
Don't be caught out of your element! There's no one quite like him, and we're giving you the chance to abide with The Dude at our special 25th anniversary presentation of The Coen Bros.' slacker odyssey The Big Lebowski at our one-night-only special event presented in partnership with the comedy festival, Laughing Gas! Jeff Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski, or The Dude, or Duder, or uh, El Duderino — a laid-back, easygoing burnout who happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife owes a lot of dangerous people a whole bunch of money. This results in The Dude having his rug soiled — a rug that was essential to his interior decoration — which launches him into the weird, evocative world of the Los Angeles underworld, and the pornographers, nihilists, and slackers that populate it. So throw on your favorite shabby sweater and roll on down for The Big Lebowski anniversary party. It’ll be far out!
