🎬 THIS WEEK AT THE MODESTO STATE THEATRE 🎬
https://thestate.org/schedule/

Here is what’s playing this week:

🌺 Frida Kahlo
Step inside the vibrant, raw, and revolutionary world of one of the most iconic artists in history. This stunning documentary uses her own words, letters, and diaries to bring her art and legacy to life like never break. A must-watch for art lovers.

🚲 Whisper of the Heart
Looking for those cozy, nostalgic vibes? This beloved Studio Ghibli classic is returning to the big screen! Follow the heartwarming journey of Shizuku, a book-loving schoolgirl, and Seiji, a passionate violin-maker, as they discover their dreams (and a very special antique shop cat 🐱).

🎛️ Relentless
Turn up the volume! Relentless takes you on a high-stakes, gripping ride where the tension never lets up. If you love deep beats, sharp turns, and a story that keeps you guessing until the final frame, see you at the State!

🪩 Epic
Get ready for a visual spectacle. Epic delivers exactly what the title promises: sweeping cinematography, incredible sound design, and a cinematic experience meant to be witnessed on the largest screen possible. Bring your friends for this one! Something to get you even more in the mood & excited for Matt Stone as Elvis on June 5th!

🥄 The Room
"Oh, hi Mark!" 🗣️ The ultimate cult phenomenon is BACK! Get your spoons ready, practice your football tosses, and prepare to quote along with Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece. It’s chaotic, it’s hilarious, and it's best experienced with a crowd. Greg Sestero will be in the building for this anniversary screening!

🥄🎬Oh, hi MODESTO! JUST ONE WEEK AWAY!
Saturday May. 30, 2026 at 7PM!
ONE NIGHT ONLY! Bring a friend!

The Room with Greg Sestero at the Modesto State Theatre!
🙌🏼We're doing it again!🥄

Get ready for a night of beautiful, hilarious chaos because the "Citizen Kane of bad movies" is returning to The State!
If you missed out last May, now is your chance to experience THE ROOM the way it was meant to be seen in a theatre full of people shouting at the screen, tossing plastic spoons, and celebrating every awkward "Oh, hi Mark!"

🙂‍↕️THE BEST PART?🥄
Join us for a special evening with Mark himself, Greg Sestero – star of The Room and the New York Times best-selling author of the Oscar-nominated The Disaster Artist! The evening will include a special screening of the film and a live Q&A with Greg!

➕ a Meet & Greet …and maybe even a bonus surprise or two?!
You’ll find yourself saying “What a story, Mark!” time and time again, as he’s not keeping any of his stupid comments in his pocket on this night.

🥄Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the "spoon-throwing" tradition or a first-timer ready to witness the madness, you don't want to miss this. Tickets will go fast! This won't just be a movie; it’s a full-blown interactive event with Greg himself!

Trailer & tickets here: https://thestate.org/.../the-room-with-greg-sestero-052026/
Free passes not accepted for this special event.
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED - DON'T MISS THIS!!!
