Kalamazoo State Theatre Reopens for Live Events: The Dude Abides

'The Big Lebowski' screening is the first event on the calendar as the historic Kalamazoo State Theatre reopens for live, in-person events.

I’m the Dude, so that’s what you call me. That or, uh His Dudeness, or uh Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.

-The Dude

It hasn't been brief- it's been too long since we were together. With COVID restrictions relaxing in Michigan, Kalamazoo State Theatre is raising the curtain again for a screening of The Big Lebowski on April 17th.

This is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.

-Walter Sobchak

There are still MDHHS guidelines to follow, so A sellout crowd will look much different as Kalamazoo State Theatre, like all venues, is operating at reduced capacity. Social distancing is encouraged and all seating is reserved, separated into pods of no more than four in a group. Temperature checks and masks will also be required to enter the facility and attend the event.

This aggression will not stand, man.

-The Dude

Sorry, Dude, those are the rules. Tickets are $10 each and available now.
