Dirty Opera presents 40th anniversary River’s Edge screening this Thursday with the director, actors and Jonathan Lethem.

Dirty Opera is the production company that my pals Dimitri Coats, Eddie Gonzalez, and I run locally. Our final event at The Claremont Laemmle 5, a lovely independent theater that is shuttering this location at the end of January, is one worthy of a farewell for this institution in the community. We are screening River’s Edge to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the film. Director Tim Hunter, cast members Daniel Roebuck and Josh Richman will be joined by moderator and author Jonathan Lethem. The film screens at 7:30 PM on Thursday, January 22. Tickets are available here. Dirty Opera will be announcing an incredible show by a legendary band that have never played in Claremont shortly. Stay tuned.
