Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to present this thing called..The Mahoning Music Series. If the elevator of the workweek tries to bring you down, go crazy with us on Sunday, August 9th, when Prince shreds our screen with the 80s rock classic PURPLE RAIN (1984) on 35mm!Looking for a weeknight reason to celebrate celluloid? Join us at The Mahoning Drive-In Theater for Thursday Thread-Up! From grindhouse to arthouse, cult classics to deep cuts, we present a series of single-feature 35mm screenings several Thursday nights a month, to get you ready for the weekend!
See Prince in his big-screen debut, the sizzling rock drama that exploded out of the peak of the MTV era, a tale of a rising rock star in Minneapolis who has to fight his way up the industry ladder while dealing with dark domesticity, music rivals, and romance, all while looking fabulous and laying down some serious funk.
Set to a powerhouse soundtrack, featuring “Let’s Go Crazy”, “When Doves Cry”, “Purple Rain”, “I Would Die 4 U”, and the song that launched the PMRC, “Darling Nikki”!
With Apollonia Kotero, Morris Day, Clarence Williams III, and Olga Karlatos!
