Byrd benefit: The Best Worst Movie You’ve Never Seen
While quite a bit of fundraising went on at the Watermelon Festival, the Byrd Theatre still needs your help collecting funds to restore the building and pay for damages caused by a break-in at the end of July.

On August 30, Style Weekly will host “The Best Worst Movie You’ve Never Seen,” a screening of the 1980’s, long-lost, never-before-seen, locally-produced film Rock ‘n’ Roll Hotel. Apparently it was Judd Nelson‘s film debut (even though no one has ever seen it) and also features Colin Quinn and tons of Richmond extras (including all of VCU, according to Richmond Magazine’s Brandon Fox).
The screening is set to take place at 8pm on Monday, August 30. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
Or if you view yourself as a Very Important Person, there is a VIP option. For $40 in advance of $45 at the door, enjoy a 6:30pm reception at the Jefferson Hotel (which provides backdrop for the film). You’ll then get transportation to the Byrd and special seating in the balcony.
Purchase your tickets here. Proceeds benefit the Byrd.
