Something is a-Foot at the Senate. Only turtle power and a rat with sage advice can keep it bay.
No, we’re not making a funny here. We’re going to party like it’s 1990 with a totally radical matinee screening of 1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
This martial arts comedy about radioactive brothers fighting crime in New York City will make you want to shout, “cowabunga!” Marking the theatrical debut of the world’s foremost band of wise-cracking reptilian mutants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was one of the most successful independent films ever released.
Its success lies not just in the satisfying action and rebellious attitude, but in the endearing and whimsical production design, with iconic costumes designed by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Which is why we invited our special guest for the afternoon, Ninja Turtle superfan Michele Ivey. Her passion for the Turtles led her to amass an impressive collection of related memorabilia, which will be on display in our lobby for your viewing pleasure before the film and at intermission!
See you there, dudes and dudettes!
About our special guest:
Michele Ivey is best known for her appearances on TV shows such as VH1’s Totally Obsessed, Anderson Cooper Live, and FANatical. She can also be seen in documentaries such as The Turtle Power Documentary and The Toys That Made Us. All these series focus on her passion for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Michele became a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1989, and kept pushing her fandom to whole new levels as she did children birthday parties, going backstage at their live concerts, visiting the set of the Next Mutation TV series, and making friends with the behind the scenes talent. She even worked on a few official TMNT projects from a Next Mutation Sticker Album to the 2007 TMNT Movie.
As a loud Ninja Turtle fan, Michele finds all fans are equal and feels that the unique items in her collection should be out there for all the fandom. She brings her collection to conventions, galleries, and other events to share with the fandom. She also shares even more through her YouTube show “Cowabunga Corner”, with reviews, event coverage, and interviews with fans and the talent behind TMNT!
Come by to see some of Michele’s collection of Ninja Turtle history from the merchandise you could find at the stores to original production items like original comic and animation artwork, rare toys, and movie props. While none of her collection is for sale, she’s happy to display and share the history of TMNT, and learn more from fellow fans.
Parking is available in our gated lot, on Gilbert, and Michigan Avenue
