Saturday & Sunday only! Bo Burnham: Inside at the Playhouse. Watch this pandemic sensation and future cult-classic the way it should be seen: on the big screen at the Playhouse. 

A claustrophobic masterclass in comedy and introspection, Inside is a beautifully bleak, hilariously hopeful special from Bo Burnham, the viral Youtube personality and director who brought you the indie hit Eighth Grade (2018).

"It's a document of our times that soothes with laughter and comforts with the knowledge that no matter how much it felt otherwise, we really weren't alone." - The Age

50 years. 25 albums. 345 songs. Unlimited genius. The Sparks Brothers, the new documentary from Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) opens at the Playhouse this Friday and we're really excited to see (and hear) this film! 

It's about time we brought a little music to our big screen after all these months, so scroll down and get tickets for these limited screenings! 

"[Edgar Wright] is such a good filmmaker, and he's made a really fun, creatively challenging movie that's worth seeing whether you're a fan or not." - Indie Wire

It was our our late show screening all opening week long, and boy did you come out! Pig was such a hit with audiences last week that we've decided to hold this film over for more late shows and a matinee this week. 


"Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower." Take a trip back to the biggest film of 1986. Top Gun was massive, and so was its soundtrack. "Right into the danger zone." "You take my breath away..." This your chance to revisit it at the Playhouse, before the long-awaited sequel hits theatres later in November. Big screen. Big sound! Tons of fun. Two shows only, July 29 & 31!

This week we will be playing the films that won the awards for Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins in The Father) and Best Supporting Actor (Daniel Kaluuya in Judas & The Black Messiah.)
