Dirty Dancing

Monday, September 10, 2018, 1:30 p.m., Dryden Theatre

(Emile Ardolino, US 1987, 100 min., 35mm)

Senior Matinee—Free for 55+. It’s the end of summer—but there’s still the end-of-season talent show. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey play the star-crossed young lovers who meet at an Upstate summertime resort—he’s the dance instructor and she’s the Peace Corps–bound debutante. Their forbidden love is channeled through their forbidden dance, and they will change each other’s lives forever. Baby’s been put in a corner, and we don’t know if she’ll ever reunite with Johnny, no matter how many lessons he’s given her. 

Also showing: Saturday, September 1, 7:30 p.m.
