The beloved indie classic “Napoleon Dynamite” was made almost 20 years ago. Since then, much has changed; but the characters, as enduring as they are endearing, stay in our hearts.
Appealing to the inner teenager in each of us, the story, and more importantly, the dialogue, makes “Napoleon Dynamite” one of the most quoted movies of our time. Napoleon Dynamite makes us laugh – and laugh hard – over and over again.
This unique evening includes a full screening of “Napoleon Dynamite” followed by a lively, freewheeling, moderated discussion with fan-favorite cast members; Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Efren Ramirez (Pedro) and Jon Gries (Uncle Rico).
Pre-show Meet & Greet Experiences are available with the stars!
