An Evening with Crispin Hellion Glover featuring"WHAT IS IT?" (2005) and "THE BIG SLIDE SHOW" -Tickets $15.00 - NOW AVAILABLE!

WINNER - BEST NARRATIVE FILM - 2005 Ann Arbor Film Festival. Having already premiered at several renowned international film festivals (including Sundance, Ann Arbor, and the New York Underground), Crispin Hellion Glover's independently produced feature "WHAT IS IT?" along with "THE BIG SLIDE SHOW" rides a wave of audience intrigue and critical acclaim to this Pennsylvania Premiere at The Oaks Theater, presented in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Museum (http://www.warhol.org). A multi talented visionary actor, writer, director, and performance artist, Glover’s feature film credits include “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” (2003), “Willard” (2003), “Bartleby” (2001), “Charlie’s Angels” (2000), “Nurse Betty” (2000), “The People Vs. Larry Flynt” (1996), “Dead Man” (1995), “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” (1993), “The Doors” (1991), “Wild At Heart” (1990), “River’s Edge” (1986), and “Back to the Future” (1985).

"THE BIG SLIDE SHOW" is a unique performance presentation wherein Glover dramatically narrates, performs, and projects slides from ten of his own books, including Rat Catching, Oak Mot, and What It Is And How It Is Done. Glover describes his ten-years-in-the-making feature film directorial debut, "WHAT IS IT?," as "the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe, and how to get home, as tormented by an hubristic racist inner psyche." The first piece in a trilogy that, among other things, challenges common notions of common culture, "WHAT IS IT?" features a cast of predominately Down Syndrome actors, while stirring themes and images (horrific , comic, dramatic) that defy easy summarization and evoke a range of varied and conflicting responses in the viewer.

The complete program, including both "THE BIG SLIDE SHOW" and "WHAT IS IT?" will be followed by an open question-and-answer session with Crispin Hellion Glover each night. Select books and CD will also be available for purchase and signing both evenings.PLEASE NOTE THAT ADMISSION IS RESTRICTED TO PERSONS 18 AND OLDER.Tickets ($15.00) for this special event are NOW AVAILABLE for purchase in person at The Oaks Theater box office.
