# Event Details - **Event Name**: Wet Hot American Summer (25th Anniversary Restoration) at the Rio Theatre - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 06:25 pm - **Event Description**: The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It’s the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there’s still a summer’s worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth, who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor. He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA’s Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day. With Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter, Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Molly Shannon, Ken Marino, Michael Ian Black, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, and Elizabeth Banks. “This shamefully under-promoted, gloriously silly romp made me laugh harder than any other movie this summer…this blissfully unimportant movie starts in a deceptively low key, gradually unveiling its total lunacy.” (Newsweek) “‘Wet Hot American Summer’ is gleefully, wonderfully stupid in the absolute best way.” (Polygon) “The funniest cinematic camp experience since Pugsley and Wednesday freaked everyone out with their rendition of the first Thanksgiving in ‘Addams Family Values’.” (Planet S Magazine) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday, August 21 Doors 6:00 pm | Movie 6:25 pm *Start time subject to change. Please arrive on time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER (David Wain, 2001 / 14 A / 97 mins) Set on the last day of camp, in the hot summer of 1981, this cult-classic comedy follows a group of counselors who are each trying to complete their unfinished business before the day ends. The entire summer of pent-up sexual frustrations, unresolved post-traumatic stress, pending separations and of course, the talent show, all weigh heavily on the minds and groins of counselors and campers alike. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Minors OK.
