- The rumors have been buzzing around, but is it now official? We can’t call this 100% just yet as the official word hasn’t come into the offices here, but the latest mailing from the Count Basie theater in Red Bank, NJ is indeed reporting the return of Kevin, during prom weekend, on his 37TH BIRTHDAY for what we think could very well be the biggest, baddest Q&A session EVER. Last time we were in town for this show, Kevin set a new record for time on stage — Will he upstage himself yet again this year? Here’s the write-up:
Thursday August, 2, 2007 at 7pm
Presented by: Count Basie Theater
Ever wanted to wish Kevin Smith happy birthday? Ever wonder what actor, writer, producer, director and editor Kevin Smith’s top 5 favorite movies are? Why the hero in his movies frequently has a best friend who wears his baseball cap backward? Why he references Star Wars in his films? This is your big chance. Celebrate Kevin Smith’s birthday with him (he was born on August 2, 1970) during a no-holds-barred question-and-answer with the audience. For the uninitiated, Smith’s films include Clerks (1994), which won the highest award at the Sundance Film Festival; Mallrats (1995); Chasing Amy (1997), which won two Independent Spirit Awards for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Role; Dogma (1999); Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001); Jersey Girl (2004); and Clerks II (2006). He’s also an award winning comic book writer; a film school drop out; an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters (Illinois Wesleyan University, 2000); owner of his own comic book store (Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash in Red Bank) and his own production company (ViewAskew), and he makes short films for the Jay Leno show. Come find out how he accomplished all this before age 37!
Tickets: $75, $59.50 $39.50 and $25
Click here for more info or to purchase. The show SOLD OUT last time, and with prom folks in town, along with the local fans and the NYC crowd, this WILL sell out again. We highly suggest you GET YOUR TICKETS ASAP for this one! There’s no place to see Kevin like the Basie. We hope to see you there with us.
