TALKING BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN:

VIDEOKE RETURNS TO

THE LOFT CINEMA!

Become a star for the night when VIDEOKE returns to The Loft Cinema! You thought it was dead, but its back from the grave and ready to party! On Wednesday, June 21^st at 9:00 p.m., after a months-long hiatus, this popular cinematic happening returns to The Loft with a new host, new clips and a new attitude! Join new host Harold Garland for a truly unique, and sometimes truly strange, movie event. Admission is free with a suggested donation of $3 (to benefit the non-profit Loft Cinema), and beer and wine are available for sale at the concession stand, so what have you got to lose?

 

What is Videoke, you ask? Simply put, it’s karaoke with movies! Here’s how it works: We play a video clip from one of your favorite movies or television shows on the screen behind you, and you get to act it out on stage with the subtitled dialogue provided on a monitor in front of you. What you do from there is up to you. Some people get on stage and channel the professional actor within or do a dead on impression of the character on the screen. Others take command of the microphone and create their own original dialogue for the scene - which can be either really funny or really painful. The key is for performers to give it their all, no matter what. Holding back is for wimps, so let loose with all you’ve got, and the audience will happily go along for the ride.

 

To prepare yourself for the thrilling experience that is Videoke, preview some of the available clips at www.videoke.org.
