The Flame Effect of Theseus

A spider missing half its legs? Something out of an industrial facility, pipes and tanks and metalwork? Spaceship fuel tanks getting ready for launch? This is an eight headed flame effect built on a wide angled base, 100lb propane tanks tilted towards the sky and reinforced in metal framing. The wide base allows participants to lie on the ground and look up at the sky while fire circles overhead. You get to control it, too.

Phantom of the Opera screening

Join us in our Cinematorium for a special screening of the 1922 silent classic Phantom of the Opera. Bring your cup and grab some complimentary popcorn, kick off your shoes, and relax in our cozy, carpeted cinema space. Stretch out, lounge, and lose yourself in this eerie masterpiece under the flicker of vintage film magic.
