John Waters bringing ‘Cecil B. Demented' to Dayton for its 25th anniversary
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Cincinnati may have a new archbishop, but there's only one 'Pope of Trash,' and he's coming to Dayton.
John Waters, director of such legendary cult movies as 'Pink Flamingos' and 'Hairspray' and star of the best 'no smoking' PSA, will screen his 2000 comedy 'Cecil B. Demented' at the Brightside Music & Event Center on April 17.
The screening is being held in conjunction with the Yellow Spring Film Festival's annual mini-fest.
After the movie, Waters will talk with the audience.
General admission tickets to the event are $35. The limited VIP tickets ($100) will get you entry into what the Brightside calls 'an intimate Q&A' with the director.
