Leave a comment

Fairfax, VA joins the Can’t Stop the Serenity family with their first screening event on Saturday.

The event kicks off early at the Cinema Arts Theatre, with doors opening at 9.30am and a brief introduction before Serenity starts at 10am. You’ll want to get there early as this year’s Intro Video is not to be missed!

Make sure to dress in your ‘Verse finery for the costume contest after the movie, a $50 gift card will be awarded to the winner. And make sure you bring some cashy money for the silent auction which will feature some Serenity related items and gift cards donated by local businesses. There will also be some tshirts for sale.

Moving into October

Leave a comment

The last month of the 2014 Can’t Stop The Serenity season sees some exciting events happening. This weekend there are 3 very different types of Serenity Screenings.

First up is London, England. All the online tickets are sold out but at time of writing there are still a few left for sale at the door. The day starts at 4:00 and there will be showings of Dr. Horrible, Serenity & some Firefly inspired music videos. A silent auction has some great prizes as does a raffle. A costume competition will claim the middle of the event, so get those outfits finished! The Mad Hatter is a wonderful pub so you’ll probably want to get something to eat & drink while you are at it.

The South Florida Browncoats are holding their screening in Pembrook Pines this year at the South Regional Library.… Read more…

Denver’s Ninth Season

Leave a comment

Denver’s Can’t Stop The Serenity has the weekend all to themselves and with everything they have planned – they need that time & space! This is their 9th year and they have planned a shiny night full of “good works”, to benefit Equality Now.

The SIE Film Center will play host on Saturday, July 12th. Event activities include a pre-screening shindig in the Henderson Lounge, Serenity and Dr. Horrible on the big screen, a costume contest, and huge raffle for shiny items donated by generous Sponsors.

Last year’s Jayne’s Hat Mob was big but they are hoping to beat that so remember to bring your “cunning hat!”

Denver’s special ticket packages “Big Damn Hero” and “The ‘Verse” have sold out already, so you might want to buy your ticket in advance as the event normally sells out before the day of the screening.… Read more…

We celebrate Joss’s birthday in a big way

2 Comments

When CSTS got started all the events were on or near Joss Whedon’s birthday, June 23. Some cities still hold their events that weekend.

First up on Friday is Lawrence, Kansas who are back with a screening. The ticket price has been lowered to only $8.00 but there is additional content with Felicia Day’s The Guild, Season 1 being shown.

Saturday June 22 has 4 screenings! Pittsburgh is back with their 8th screening. It’s in a new location, Off The Wall Theater in Carnegie, PA. This year they are asking for donations at the door rather than selling tickets in advance and are requesting $5.00 – $10.00. They have 2 silent auctions, games, raffles and of course, Serenity. After 7 previous screenings, you can be sure they know how to have a good time!… Read more…
