The Underdogs Film Screening & Fundraiser for Girls On Shred

Wednesday, November 12 // 7 PM Doors // 7:30 Film Screening // $15 // $20 Artist Supporter   Four female snowboarders, two filmmakers, and a guide. One self-organized expedition into the remote Alaskan backcountry. And none of them had met in person before.   The Underdogs goes beyond lines. The film tells the real story behind them: the logistical chaos, the endless wait for weather windows, navigating avalanche conditions during a tough April season, and the emotional highs and lows that came with it all. It’s about how strangers became a team.   Honest, raw, and sprinkled with a good dose of humor, this film captures what it really takes to chase a big dream into unknown terrain — and why the best stories often come from a little (or a lot) of chaos.    Film by Elina Lehmkuhl @lemcool_collective Cinematography by Elina Lehmkuhl & Henry Bunney @henrybunney Project produced by Celina Weber @_celinaweber Sound design by Richard Buchner @richardbuchner   Starring Anto Galmez @antogalmez Celina weber @_celinaweber Kate Ediger @shrediger Shawna Paoli @shawnapaoli

The Bangingsons: A Love Ballad

Thursday, September 25- Saturday, September 27 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $17-$27 Pick What You Pay  When cancer came for them, both of them, discovered within the same 24 hour period… hers having returned in a lymph node, his having appeared in his throat and neck… there were shared tears, a long embrace, quiet whispers as to not wake their daughter, a long sigh and then together, with soft eyes and without cue, “Twin flame shit baby. Twin flame shit.”    And when, in the depths of their tandem treatment, treatment that nearly killed him, a family crisis had them carrying loaded handguns for the first time in their lives and hiding in hotels for weeks on end, what did they do?  What did they discover? Was it the stuff of great philosophers or killer comedians? Were they eviscerated? Emboldened? Expanded? Come find out!  Flirting and arguing along the way, Wifey Bangingson shares stories dripping in love and laughter whilst Hubby Bangingson delivers the soundtrack, dropping the melodies and beats that belong to these moments. Collectively, they invite you into their living room, to time travel together to scenes from their life.  This project is a playful experiment of story, banter and improv marinated in trauma-bonding and music.  One part philosophy and deep spiritual discovery.  Another part comedy and cliffnotes for survival.    The Bangingsons invite you along as they ride the massive whitewater rapids of life, falling in and out of love with themselves and each other.  Realizing along the way that if you can let go, keep your feet downstream, work as a team and breathe when you can… as the water and waves get deeper and more death-defying, so does the love, the sense of connection to self and one another, and the deep peace within the never-ending flow of the river of life.   Note: This performance/experience has mature themes and language and is recommended for viewers 18 and older.”
