THE LINEUP

4PM: The Secret Life of Pets (2016)

PG, 1h26m

The quiet life of a terrier named Max is upended when his owner takes in Duke, a stray whom Max instantly dislikes.

During the movie, A Rosie Day will guide participants in imagining their perfect pet: What will it look like? Will it have sparkly wings, a polka-dotted tail? They’ll then make it colorful and silly by adding fun pieces for features from a buffet of materials-mostly up-cycled as well as collage cut outs. To add dimension, they will be asked what their pets chosen name is, and then have a chance to create little collars.

6 PM: '00s tunes by DJ Honey Cafe

7:30 PM: Rent (2005)

PG-13, 2 h15m

A rock opera that tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling in modern-day East Village New York City. The musical follows their struggles for success, acceptance, and survival while enduring poverty, illness, and the AIDS epidemic.

Plus: Drinks from Other Half Brewing & Snacks from Roni-Sue's
