The Jane Pickens Theater is bringing a lineup of cult classics and acclaimed films to its Washington Square screen this month, highlighted by a special one-night-only event pairing live rock music with one of cinema’s most beloved mockumentaries.
On April 16, the JPT will screen “This Is Spinal Tap,” Rob Reiner’s classic satire of rock culture, starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer. The evening begins at 7 p.m. with a live performance by David Tessier’s All Star Stars playing music from the film and the era, followed by the screening at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.
The month also features two films from director Paul Thomas Anderson. “There Will Be Blood,” starring Daniel Day-Lewis in his Oscar-winning role as oilman Daniel Plainview, screens April 10 at 7:30 p.m. “Phantom Thread,” Day-Lewis’s final screen performance as a 1950s London dressmaker, screens April 14 at 7:30 p.m.
Rounding out the month, the dark teen satire “Heathers,” starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, screens April 9 at 8 p.m. in a new 4K restoration, with a themed cocktail available at the concession stand. “Father of the Bride,” starring Steve Martin and Diane Keaton, screens April 15 at 7:30 p.m.
