New York Premiere
Passing Strange
| USA | 134 MINUTES | EnglishDrama
After a sold-out run at The Public Theater, a Broadway transfer, and multiple nominations and awards (including a Tony), the spectacular Passing Strange played its final super-energized performance in 2008. But before that final curtain, Spike Lee captured the show on film, amazingly retaining and transmitting the power and intensity of co-creator/star Stew and crew's performances so that nobody has to miss one of the greatest theatrical productions in recent memory.
Join Lee, Stew, and co-creator Heidi Rodewald for a conversation following the screening on May 2.
