Co-presented by The Second City Film School
From the Coen Brothers comes The Big Lebowski—the hilariously comedy-thriller about bowling, avant-garde art, nihilistic Austrians, and a guy named… The Dude. Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski doesn't want any drama in his life… heck, he can't even be bothered with a job. But, in a case of mistaken identity, a couple of thugs break into his place and steal his rug (you gotta understand, that rug really tied the room together). Now, The Dude must embark on a quest with his crazy friends to make things right and get that rug back! Starring Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, John Goodman, John Turturro and Steve Buscemi, The Big Lebowski has become a cultural phenomenon.
The Second City Film School is dedicated to training the next generation of comedic storytellers, immersing students in a diverse, collaborative, environment that prepares them to be the next great showrunner, screenwriter, director, producer, or digital content superstar. Through the Second City’s unique improvisational method, students will learn to “create from abundance” as they write, direct, produce, and star in their own films, series, and sketches—mastering the skills needed to create comedy on screen, and learning to collaborate with the best the industry has to offer.
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
