Relive the romance, makeover magic, and unforgettable moments that made “She’s All That” a generation-defining classic. After the screening, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook will take the stage to share behind-the-scenes stories, reflect on the film’s lasting impact, and revisit the on-screen chemistry that made Zack and Laney’s love story so memorable.

October 19 – Dustbowl Revival & Hot Club of Cowtown: ‘Willie and Bob’
After making their solo debuts in 1962, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson went on to change how we listen to traditional folk music, rock ‘n’ roll, and their own free-spirited brand of Americana soul.
Coming together again for a unique collaboration are Austin’s beloved Western swing and string band masters, Hot Club of Cowtown (who once toured with Dylan), and LA’s award-winning brass and harmony heavies, Dustbowl Revival. Take the journey from Dylan’s and Nelson’s earliest old-time roots in Texas and Minnesota to their fearless modern sounds.
Following a successful barnstorming of the West Coast honoring the 50th anniversary of The Band (with a signed copy of Big Pink sent from an appreciative Robbie Robertson), Hot Club and Dustbowl reunite to play classics and deep cuts from Dylan’s and Nelson’s whole catalogue, as well as share their own originals.
Individual adult tickets start at $25. Additional pricing tiers are available.

Celebrate the performance and sound of one of the biggest international stars of our time. This show has fans on their feet dancing and singing along to blockbuster hits, including “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go,” “Freedom,” “Faith,” “Careless Whisper,” “Father Figure,” and many more.
George Michael sold over 115 million albums spanning four decades and rose to fame as a member of Wham! in the early 1980s. He went solo in 1987 with “Faith,” one of the biggest albums of all time.
