May the Schwartz Be With You!
Join on May the Fourth for a special showing of the space opera comedy spoof Spaceballs! Starring Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, George Wyner, Lorene Yarnell, and the voice of Joan Rivers, with a special appearances by Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Rody De Luca, and Michael Winslow.
Heroic mercenary Lone Starr and his alien sidekick Barf (half man, half dog, his own best friend) rescue Princess Vespa of Druidia and her droid, Dot Matrix, from being captured by the Spaceballs, led by President Skroob, who wants to use Vespa as ransom to obtain Druidia's air for their own planet. However, the heroes get stranded on a desert moon, where they encounter the wise Yogurt, who teaches Starr about the metaphysical power known as "the Schwartz". Meanwhile, Spaceball commanders Dark Helmet and Colonel Sandurz lead the search for them but are hindered by their own incompetence.
Join the Bleeps, the Sweeps, and the Creeps at the Central Library's Farish Theater at 2pm for this painfully punny and deliriously wacky spoof of Star Wars.
