Napoleon Dynamite:
A Conversation w/ Jon Heder & Efren Ramirez LIVE!
About the Show:
It’s been 15 years since the indie film Napoleon Dynamite came out of nowhere to become the sleeper hit of 2004. With some of the most quotable lines of any film in recent memory, this quirky cult comedy has had fans talking about ligers, tater tots, and voting for Pedro ever since. And, who could forget Napoleon’s sweet dance moves at the end?!
This unique event includes a full screening of Napoleon Dynamite in the Historic Academy Theatre on the BIG screen, followed by a lively, freewheeling, moderated discussion with fan-favorite cast members Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Efren Ramirez (Pedro). Want the VIP experience? Add on a Meet & Greet and hang with Jon Heder and Efren Ramirez one hour before the event!
Grab your moon boots and ChapStick® (in case your lips hurt real bad) and celebrate the 15th anniversary of this comedy classic. Will tickets go fast? Heck yes, they will! GOSH!
ABOUT NAPOLEON DYNAMITE:
“Napoleon Dynamite” (Jon Heder) comes from the rural town of Preston, Idaho. He is a new kind of hero with his red ‘fro, sweet moon boots, and stellar ninja moves. When Napoleon isn’t fighting with his brother Kip (Aaron Ruell), trying to avoid his conniving Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), or feeding his Grandma’s pet llama, he spends his time drawing magical creatures. After making two new friends, Deb (Tina Majorino) and Pedro (Efren Ramirez), it’s Napoleon’s job to get Pedro voted for class president by unleashing his secret weapon.
