Maybe you've seen Cool Hand Luke before. Maybe you've even seen Cool Hand Luke a lot of times. But I'm guessing you've never seen Cool Hand Luke from the roof of a parking garage with downtown Omaha as the backdrop.
If that's the case then you're in luck as the Downtown Summer Cinema is showing the 1967 Paul Newman classic this Saturday on the rooftop of the Brandeis Parking Facility. Sponsored by Polyester Gallery, CinemaOmaha.org and The Brandeis, the Downtown Summer Cinema series provides a unique setting for film buffs to experience some classic films from the comfort of, well, the Omaha skyline.
Screenings for this seven week series begin at dusk (approximately 9 p.m.), and the facility opens at 7:30 p.m. with a rotating list of local DJs and bands offering music prior to the films. Admission is $6 and parking is available within the facility for $5. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own chairs and refreshments.
The Brandeis Parking Facility is located on 17th Street, between Farnam and Douglas. For more information or for a complete schedule of screenings visit CinemaOmaha.org.
