Upcoming Events
DAC Nights: Bathtubs Over Broadway
Wednesday, August 13, 2025
7-9pm
Explore the world of industrial musicals in Bathtubs Over Broadway while you beat the heat at DAC Nights! Sit back and enjoy the “feel-good” 2018 documentary that examined a fairly unknown subgenre of musical theater: corporate musicals. We’ll have supplies for making your own popcorn mix in the lobby and other refreshments to make the summer film feature experience just right. Learn about a weird combination of American media and leave humming the best jingle you’ll ever hear for ball bearings!
This event is free! The film is rated PG-13, so parents and guardians of children under 13 are encouraged to review film details ahead of attendance. Registration is required, as there is limited capacity in the theater.
