We have a big 29 foot movie screen at the Varsity. You might catch us playing free movies during happy hour, or enjoy the beauty of video during a live music, dance, or theater performance.
We also have a 10 foot screen in the back of the Varsity. We are known for playing weird old movies as eye candy before or during some shows. One of our house favorites, are classic Mr. Ed tv shows.
Don't watch television, come to the Varsity for amazing live performances.
