Your weekend with Crispin Glover

There is more than a fist full of reasons that a barfly should visit Clinton Street on any given night. The amount and variety of bars in easy stumbling distance to each other is fantastic, so you don’t really need any persuasion there.  Still, to sweeten the deal, Crispin Glover is going to set up camp with his traveling road show of cinematic oddness at the Clinton Street Theatre this weekend.

Here’s the deal. Mr. Glover has put a whole bunch of work into the two completed films of his “It” trilogy. He’s acted in some big budget films in order to pay the way for his bizarre gems of enigmatic artistry and discomfort. Not to mention, Clinton Street Theatre owner, Seth Sonstein, has been aggressive enough, according to Mr. Glover, to get the whole show into the lovely S.E. movie house. The upshot of the deal is like some perfect storm for barflies. The plan: drink at one of Clinton Streets many booze joints, including the theaters own brew pub, then go get your mind blown by Crispin Glover, and then drink some more afterward.

 Actors with down syndrome, actors with cerebral palsy, naked women in elephant masks, a Crispin Glover slideshow, snails, minstrels, deviant and beautiful sexuality. It’s all there, and even better with a beer in your hand.

I actually just spoke to Mr. Glover, who told me that he didn’t really care which of the films you came to see. What’s more important is that you have the experience. And, you might even find him in one of the many bars after the show.

What is it? Plays tonight and Sunday

It is fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE! Plays Saturday and Monday nights.

Both shows have a slide show and Q and A with Mr. Glover

They all start at 7pm.

It’s my hood, so you might run into me too. I’ll be the one with the pupils spinning in opposite directions.
