About this Event
We love Catherine O’Hara! Join us for a four-film big-screen tribute to one of comedy’s greatest icons, beginning March 4 on what would have been her birthday.
For decades, Catherine brought us unforgettable characters, brilliant comic timing, and a warmth that made even her most eccentric roles feel deeply human. These screenings are a chance to laugh together and celebrate a career that meant so much to so many.
Whether as Cookie Fleck, Delia Deetz, or Moira Rose, she was simply the best.
WAITING FOR GUFFMAN
Directed by Christopher Guest
1996/84 min/DCP
Christopher Guest’s beloved and hilarious mockumentary follows a small Missouri town staging an original musical to celebrate its sesquicentennial, as a group of earnest but wildly eccentric performers chase their moment in the spotlight.
Catherine O’Hara is wonderful as Sheila Albertson, a travel agent with big Broadway dreams and unwavering enthusiasm for the stage. With her impeccable timing and gift for finding both the humor and the heart in her characters, O’Hara makes Sheila both endearing and deeply funny, helping ground the film’s comedy in genuine warmth.
