Free Movie Night April 29 at Wisconsin Makers in Whitewater
“Mystery Men” will be featured at Wisconsin Makers’ Movie Night Saturday, April 29.
The public is invited to attend the free showing of the family-friendly film at 7 p.m. at the community makerspace, located at 200 E. Clay St. in Whitewater. Free popcorn will be served. Pizza, soda and water will be available for $1.
Before and after the film, attendees are welcome to tour the makerspace to see what it has to offer. In addition, they will be able to peruse items in the makerspace’s rummage sale.
Wisconsin Makers President Al Jewer said Movie Night is designed to open the makerspace to area residents as it emerges from a two-year hibernation during the coronavirus pandemic. He noted that volunteers have been busy reorganizing the space for educational and recreational use. “We have installed a 15-foot-wide movie screen and 500-watt surround-sound in our common area, and will be showing films periodically throughout the year,” Jewer said. “We want to provide a fun, affordable evening out for people of all ages.”
“Mystery Men” is a 1999 American superhero comedy film directed by Kinka Usher and written by Neil Cuthbert, loosely based on Bob Burden’s “Flaming Carrot Comics.” The film details the story of a team of lesser superheroes with unimpressive powers who are required to save the day. It stars Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Greg Kinnear, Janeane Garofalo, Paul Reubens, Kel Mitchell, Wes Studi, Geoffrey Rush, Lena Olin, Eddie Izzard, Claire Forlani and Tom Waits.
