YETI: GIANT OF THE 20THE CENTURY, an Italian King Kong rip off from the late 70’s with basically a really hairy dude as some kind of Yeti instead of King Kong.

This is an experimental show where we’ll actually be showing a crazy exploitation foreign film with no subtitles. We’re going to have improv actors do the voices for all the characters and create (what we hope) is a totally new, crazy, funny story. If this works, we have access to a whole treasure trove of 35mm prints from all over the world. And we’ll be bringing the troupe back to create new, ridiculous stories for all of them.
