Victor & Mal’s Cult Movie Night returns for a SAVAGE SEPTEMBER, Fred Savage that is, as we are proud to host a screening of the 80’s kid monster movie, LITTLE MONSTERS starring Howie Mandel as Maurice, the punk rock monster that lives in an underworld only accessed under the beds of children. Maurice befriends Bryan (Savage), a 12 year old boy who gets to meet the monster under his bed. The two become fast friends, sharing pranks and fun between their respective worlds. Also starring Fred’s real life brother Ben Savage of BOY MEETS WORLD fame. LITTLE MONSTERS feels like the perfect cozy nostalgia film to lead us into October.

We are also proud to announce that the star of LITTLE MONSTERS, actor/director Fred Savage will be in attendance for this special screening. Plus trailers & a savage short!

On Wednesday, September 24, we will host a FREE screening of WILLIS BING DAVIS - REACH HIGH & REACH BACK! Sponsored by Twentig, Inc, this screening will be FREE and open to the public.

"Few people have impacted the arts in Southwest Ohio quite like Willis 'Bing' Davis. An African American artist, educator and community activist from Dayton, Davis’ artwork is known for its incorporation of African and African American themes, as well as its focus on social justice issues. He works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, clay and found object art...Today, in his mid-80s, Davis continues to create art, educate others and promote social justice causes in a variety of ways."

CITY OF GEMS & HEN HOUSE FORUM invite you to Join us for the premiere of “Welcome to Rap Campp” The Documentary @The Neon theater in downtown Dayton. There are only a limited number of tickets available for this, so get yours today.

What happens when you throw some of the region’s most hungry emcees and producers into a camp-style grind session for one weekend with one goal: make something dope and do it together?

RAP CAMPP is a love letter to hip-hop, community, and the Dayton scene that raised us. This ain’t just about bars. It’s about building something out of nothing, holding the mic for the next voice, and doing it with people who care about the culture.

Come see the highs, the laughs, the freestyles, and the real moments that made this weekend unforgettable.
