On November 2nd, 2024 at the Burton Cummings Theatre, Winnipeg will be host to a 50th anniversary celebration of Brian De Palma's 1974 cult-classic-horror-comedy-rock-opera…
Paul Williams (Swan) and Peter Elbling, Archie Hahn and Jeffrey Comanor (The Juicy Fruits) will appear as special guests, "along with others" according to the official Facebook post.
The main event at 7PM will feature a screening of the film, a cast QnA session, a costume competition, and a live performance by the tribute band SWANAGE, with more fun to be announced in the future.
In addition, a screening of Malcolm Ingram's Phantom Of Winnipeg documentary will be held on the evening of November 1, hosted by Harold Oblong and featuring Kevin Smith, and a matinee showing of POTP featuring Williams and the Fruits will be held in the afternoon of November 2nd, before the main event.
Tickets to the main event are now sold out, though they are occasionally being officially resold on Ticketmaster, so keep an eye out!
