This Is Spinal Tap

Saturday, February 7 at 7 PM

Strand Theatre 

Actor and Director Rob Reiner passed away a few weeks ago, and Bill Justice wanted to sponsor one of Reiner's many great films. We chose his first as a director: This Is Spinal Tap.

Reiner appears in the film along with Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, and Christopher Guest as the most unforgettable rock legends who never existed.
