This week in the Lawrence film and theatre (and music) scene!
--
On Tuesday, The Bottleneck is hosting Trash Nite, and it's FREE. We like bad films almost as much as we like good ones. Trash Nite screens condensed versions of bad movies. This time the theme is video games, and it looks quite promising.

Ok, so it's not theatre or film, but we're fans of music too. The Lawrence Arts Center creates an interesting environment to experience a concert, due to the fact that it's a seated theater. Matt Pryor is putting on a show there this Friday night as part of the 940 Live Concert Series. Bonus selling point - servers will bring you beer right to your seat!

Don't forget that tickets are on sale for local filmmaker Kevin Willmott's latest film "Jayhawkers". It's a narrative film about KU basketball, Phog Allen, Wilt Chamberlain, and the civil rights movement in Lawrence. Tickets are on sale at the Lied Center for the weekend of Feb 14-16.

In film production news, we've caught wind that a new local group called Women of Lawrence Film is actively creating a series of short films. These will be premiering in an upcoming Final Friday, as well as the Free State Film Festival this summer, so keep watch! Speaking of the film festival, it sounds like it's going to be much bigger this year!

Final Friday is this week, and we're certainly ready for a new round of art openings! See all of the events here. We definitely recommend checking out the Arts Center's William Burroughs exhibit. It looks like Cider Gallery also has a nice Burroughs exhibit opening. Also, don't forget that there are several more Burroughs events coming up in the next month including films, discussions, a staged reading of The Nervous Set, and John Waters speaking.
