Attend a real-life Action Pack & A/V Geeks Prom! Dress to impress!
The show starts at 7pm with classic prom-oriented 16mm educational films, presented on a vintage school film projector. You’ll learn all about prom etiquette and propriety.
Then the Action Pack hits the scene with a classic prom themed dance party, hosted by Henri Mazza. There will be music videos and dancing and we’ll even crown a King & Queen Of The Prom. Don’t miss it!
More about A/V Geeks:
Formerly a mild-mannered computer technician, Skip Elsheimer now spends his time and money collecting, archiving and presenting old 16mm educational films. What started as a hobby 15 years ago has blossomed into a magnificent obsession, and the collection has grown to over 23,000 films gathered from school auctions, thrift stores, closets and dumpsters. Skip presents themed film shows, tours occasionally, runs a burgeoning stock footage clearinghouse and lives the life he loves. He is one of our heroes.
If you’ve never seen an AV Geeks show before, that’s okay. There’s a first time for everything. Expect a program of several amazing, funny and interesting vintage short films in spectacular speckled, scratched 16mm. It’s a damn blast and, well, it’s kinda educational.

…and more to bring back those memories of sweaty palms and drunken errors!
