On Friday and Saturday, August 22-23, The Mahoning Drive-In Theater presents “Pee Wee’s Big Drive-In Adventure”, a 35mm double feature of Pee Wee Herman’s first two big-screen extravaganzas that take him across the U.S. and off to the circus!
Join us as we celebrate the cinematic legacy of the late Paul Reubens, better known to the world as Pee Wee Herman, with a 35mm double feature screening of Tim Burton’s classic PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE (1985) and its follow-up, BIG TOP PEE WEE (1988)!
At sundown, Pee Wee Herman sets off on a cross-country adventure in search of his stolen bike in PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, meeting all manner of kooky characters along the way, in one of the most whimsical and bonkers comedies of the 80s!
With cameos by Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), James Brolin, a bombastic score by Danny Elfman, and Large Marge reigniting your kindertrauma on the giant Mahoning screen!
Once Pee Wee reunites with his tantalizing two-wheeled true love, it’s time to run off and join the circus in BIG TOP PEE WEE, as our bowtied hero falls for a trapeze artist (Valeria Golino), much to the dismay of his fiancée (Penelope Ann Miller). Who will win Pee Wee’s heart, and can he help save the circus?
With Kris Kristofferson and Vance The Pig.
So put on your bow tie, practice the “Tequila” dance, and come to The Mahoning Drive-In to celebrate Pee Wee Herman with themed raffles, food specials, a photo op, live DJ, and pop culture vendors that would make Amazing Larry flip his Mohawk!
Gates open at 6pm. Showtime at Sundown.
