Buster Keaton Comedy Classics

Join us for three sidesplitting short films starring one of the most beloved comedians of cinema’s silent era. Sue Harshe (of Scrawl and Fort Shame fame) provides live musical accompaniment for some of Buster Keaton’s finest, funniest, and fastest shorts, featuring his trademark physical humor and staggeringly choreographed stunts: The Scarecrow (1920), The Haunted House (1921), and The Goat (1921). (approx. 60 mins., Blu-ray)

This film screens in the lobby of Mershon Auditorium in a handmade, cardboard cinema environment created by artists Julian McFaul and his Adventures in Cardboard team along with help from kids and families participating in our free Zoom Family Studio activity. Space is limited for our Adventures in Cardboard screenings and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis—so buy your tickets early for this screening!
