This Rockuary, Spectacle is bringing in local legends Scott Lewis & Gary Winter for screenings of their pioneering NYC-based public access variety program, THE SCOTT AND GARY SHOW!

Originally filmed in New York from 1983 to 1986, before relocating to the D.C. metro area at the invitation of filmmaker (& friend of the theater) Jeff Krulik, the show featured a wide-ranging roster of independent punk, underground, and roots acts— including Butthole Surfers, Ben Vaughn, Half Japanese, Shockabilly, R. Stevie Moore, and a pre-hip hop Beastie Boys— performing before a live audience, interspersed with band interviews, skits, and off-the-cuff commentary from host Scott Lewis. Now, nearly 40 years later, the show’s legacy is closer to that of AMERICAN MOVIE than AMERICAN BANDSTAND, with its staunchly DIY aesthetic and alternative focus echoed in everything from future public access favorites like NEW YORK NOISE to major network programs like 120 MINUTES.

Join us on Friday, February 20th for a special in-person presentation and Q&A with Scott & Gary, featuring an exclusive, never-before-seen compilation of highlights from the show.
