Who

Daniel Franzese.

Best known as the iconic Damian in the cult classic Mean Girls, Daniel is a comedian, actor, and activist who has also appeared in HBO’s Looking and The Comeback, and on comedy stages across the country.

He won’t be the only familiar face in the building. Special guests will be walking the carpet and sitting in the seats, and Daniel has a little something planned for after the credits, with a reception and afterparty to follow.

Red carpet and doors open together at 9:00 PM. Come early, dress like it’s a premiere (because it is), and give yourself time for photos before you find a seat.

Showtime

The special plays at 9:30. The reception and afterparty to follow.

First come, best seated

Your RSVP holds your spot in the room, not a specific seat. It’s a 99-seat house, so there isn’t a bad one, but the front rows go to the early birds.
