Every summer as temperatures rise, The Senate Theater greets the heat with our annual Hot, Sweaty & Weird film series, focusing on cult favorites, underground classics, and B-movie schlock. For our final film of the series we’re heading outside for a FREE film screening in our Senate Coney Lot!  

This year we’re bringing you The Giant Gila Monster, a classic(ally terrible) teensploitation flick grafted with horrifying(ly bad) special effects onto the framework of a creature feature. It’s the kind of delightfully cheesy junk that was tailored for the drive-in crowd of the 1950s, filled with hot rods, “platter parties,” questionable acting, and plenty of bloodless carnage. It’s perfect for our free outdoor screening, in the “Coney Lot” located next to the Senate’s front door on Michigan Ave. 

DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR!  

CONCESSIONS STAND AND BATHROOMS WILL BE AVAILABLE INSIDE THE THEATER! 

DONATIONS WELCOME! THE SENATE IS ALL VOLUNTEER AND NON-PROFIT! 

 

 

Parking is available in our gated lot, on Gilbert, and Michigan Avenue
