Egyptian Theatre Foundation Presents Pulp Fiction.
Kicking off their 2018 fundraising campaign.
Ogden, UT (January 2, 2018) – Pulp Fiction, the independent masterpiece film by Quintin Tarantino, will be shown on the big screen at the Historic Peery’s Egyptian Theater in Ogden as part of the ETF After Dark film series. Friday, January 12, 2018 at 7:30p.m. A benefit event for the Egyptian Theatre Foundation.
“We are thrilled to be presenting Pulp Fiction for our first fundraising event of the year.” says Danielle Bendinelli, Vice President of the Egyptian Theater Foundation. “The following we are starting to build with these classic cult films has been great! It allows us to engage with new audiences and gives the public an opportunity to fall in love all over again with such an amazing venue.”
The Egyptian Theater Foundation board focuses on fundraising initiatives for special theater-related projects, including maintenance and preservation of the Mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ which will provide pre-show atmosphere during the January 12th event. Campaigning in 2018 to replace the exterior marque, the ETF is looking to attract increased community participation and donations by inviting audiences to come and create their own special memories of Peery’s Egyptian Theater.
Ryan McDonald, Egyptian Theater Foundation Entertainment Chair said he’s been looking to show Pulp Fiction at Peery’s for a few years. “It has everything from gangsters to hit men to a boxer on the run from his criminal past. The film style is unique to the world of cinema. Tarantino draws from his inspirations in movies and music, and 24 years later he has inspired an entire generation of indie filmmakers. Many films since have tried to compare, but there is only one true Pulp Fiction. And that’s the facts.”
Event tickets are available for $6.50 through Smithtix.com or the Peery’s Egyptian Theater Box Office located at 2415 Washington Blvd in Ogden. Phone: 801-689-8700.
