A neo-noir mystery, a hard boiled detective story, a . . . wacky comedy? 

Who Framed Roger Rabbit puts the “toon” in Chinatoon and the “Dip” in Diple Indemnity. It’s the only film that could contain Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, and the impressive talents of award-winning actors without exploding to pieces like a stick of (Acme brand) TNT. 

It’s a marvelous melding of live-action crime drama and animated slapstick antics

Bob Hoskins, Christopoher Lloyd, Kathleen Turner and Charles Fleischer star in this beloved classic, set in a world of cartoons living side by side with human beings. Eddie Valiant, (Hoskins) a gruff and hard drinking private eye, finds himself embroiled in a (bunny) tail of corruption, lies, and infidelity as he tries to exonerate his “toon” client, the ever-plucky Roger Rabbit, of murder. But can he rustle up the evidence he needs before the sinister Judge Doom (Lloyd) executes Roger in a bubbling, toon-killing brew known as “The Dip?” 

P-p-p-please! 

Come see this one-of-a-kind film the way we saw it for the very first time: on a big screen, laughing along with your fellow movie-lovers, enthralled by its jaw-dropping special effects and enduring performances! 

For one night only at the Senate!

Acclaimed film director, Sidney Lumet would have celebrated his 100th birthday this June. In celebration the Senate is excited to present one of his best regarded and beloved films, Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino and John Cazale!  

Based on a real-life robbery turned hostage situation, this typically grimy piece of 70s realism was rightfully lauded by critics upon release and, today, has earned its place in the pantheon of great American films. In no small part its captivating and honest portrayal of desperate people at the edges of society solidified the legendary status of its director and star.  

Brimming with tension and pathos, it is just as potent now as it was in 1975. 

Come see it the way Mr. Lumet intended, on a big screen, in a movie theater, surrounded by fellow lovers of film!
