Viewing Notes
Fun night seeing this for the first time in probably 30 years, with Diane Franklin in attendance. She did a Q&A afterwards, which, unfortunately, wasn’t very good. The theater is a restored space that also hosts plays and a horror film festival. Maybe next year we’ll make a trip out for the fest.
