Come out to The Little Theatre to see “Pirate Radio” this weekend! The fine folk at the Kalamazoo Film Society graciously donate the proceeds from one weekend of movie screenings to WIDR, so come out this Friday-Sunday to kill two birds with one stone! See and awesome movie and donate to WIDR in one fell swoop! The links below will give you all of the necessary info on the movie, movie times, and directions! See you there!
“Rock and roll will live forever – but can it float?”
“Pirate Radio is the newest ensemble comedy from Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose “pirate radio” captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down.”
