Inconceivable!  We’re showing an audience participation version of The Princess Bride for teens and adults.  Come prepared to join in the fun with callouts and your favorite lines.  This is a festive, say-the-lines-out-loud event, so expect a non-traditional, group participation experience.  Costumes are welcome–no swords, please.  Have fun storming the castle!
