Step back in time as Spike Lee’s ‘School Daze’ screens at Miramar Cultural Center
The Miramar Cultural Center is revamping a Spike Lee movie into a live experience.
An interactive screening of “School Daze” is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 25, and tickets are now on sale.
The 1988 movie was written and directed by Lee, an accomplished Black filmmaker who focused on the animosity and fighting between sororities and fraternities at a historically Black college in the film.
MCC’s presentation will include live dancers from RTWDance, as musical performance is an important element of the film. It will also be a celebration of Black excellence as a way to kick off Black History Month in February.
“Enjoy concessions, free popcorn, clappers to join in on the fun, social engagement throughout the night, and curated photo areas to capture the moment. Come ready to watch, react, dance, and celebrate the rich heritage of HBCUs and enjoy ‘School Daze’ like you’ve never experienced it before,” MCC officials said in a Jan. 7 news release.
They describe the movie experience as interactive, but noted that it is an R-rated film. Anyone under age 17 will require an adult chaperone.
Adults who have a history with one of the Black Greek letter fraternities or sororities are encouraged to wear clothes representing their organization or alma mater.
Tickets are available on the center’s website for $10 before taxes and fees.
