7pm on October 8th - Q&A to Follow

Join us on Thursday, October 8th at 7pm for a Homecoming Premiere screening of Concessions, the acclaimed independent feature filmed largely right here at The Lafayette Theatre. Early audiences of Edinburgh and Woodstock festivals are calling Concessions a funny, heartfelt, and nostalgic love letter to movie theaters, celebrating the people, memories, and magic that make the communal moviegoing experience so special.

This screening is especially meaningful for the Lafayette community, as many local patrons and friends of the theater appeared as extras throughout the film. Keep your eyes peeled for familiar faces, including our own manager, Dan, who can be spotted sharing the screen with Michael Madsen!

Following the film, stay for an exclusive live Q&A with the Director and members of the cast, who will share behind-the-scenes stories, discuss the filmmaking journey, and answer audience questions. Whether you were part of the production, know someone who was, or simply have a passion for independent cinema and historic movie theaters, this is a unique opportunity to celebrate a film with deep roots in our community. Experience Concessions on the very screen where much of it was filmed and be part of an unforgettable evening of cinema, conversation, and local pride.

About the Film - Directed by Mas Bouzidi, the 2025 comedy-drama Concessions stars Steven Ogg, Josh Hamilton, and Michael Madsen. Set during the final shift at a beloved movie theater facing closure, the film follows employees, misfits, and dreamers whose lives intertwine in unexpected ways. On one eventful last day at the Royal Alamo Cinema, stories of rejection, redemption, and fate unfold, creating a funny, touching, and ultimately celebratory tribute to the enduring magic of the movies.
