NW Film Center presents BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE at Top Down: Rooftop Cinema

Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 7pm

  • All Ages, Bar with ID

Online ticket sales have ended, but a limited amount of tickets will be available at the door. Sales at the door are CASH ONLY.

High school slackers Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) need to ace their history presentation in order to avoid military school and fulfill their true calling as rock stars who save civilization. With a little help from a time-traveling messenger from the future named Rufus (George Carlin), the boys gather up some historic figures like Napoleon and Socrates who offer the sort of insight into history that the boys are lacking. Co-written by Film Center instructor Chris Matheson, this hilarious trek through the ages is full of favorite lines like (spoiler alert): "You killed Ted, you medieval dickweed!" (90 mins.)

BAND: GRAVES

THE 8:30 RULE
Entry for advance ticket holders and pass holders is guaranteed until 8:30pm. Advance tickets and passes ensure that you will not have to wait in the ticket purchase line but do not guarantee entry after 8:30pm. A limited number of chairs are available on a first come, first serve basis.

Advance ticket holders who arrive after 8:30pm but are not admitted to the screening (in the case of a sell out) may exchange their tickets for another Top Down screening. There are no refunds or exchanges for arrivals after the film begins (9pm) or for entirely missed screenings. We appreciate your understanding.

Doors at 7pm; Music at 8pm; Film at 9pm.

Due to capacity restrictions, arrival by 8:30p.m. is recommended. Some seating is provided, but feel free to bring a chair, pillow, or blanket and a light sweater or jacket. Please, no pets or outside food or drink.
