MASTER PANCAKE presents ROAD HOUSE!



Master Pancake Theater Presents

ROAD HOUSE: Benefiting Pancreatic Cancer Research
Two Shows Only 7pm (SOLD OUT)
and 10pm Wednesday 12/2 at the Ritz

Tickets on sale here.

For one show only, to honor our fallen friend Patrick Swayze, Master Pancake resurrects one of their most requested mocks ever: ROAD HOUSE (1989). We'll be donating a hefty percentage of the night's proceeds to PanCAN, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, to help battle the disease that took down our hero, as we mock ROAD HOUSE, the Citizen Kane of bouncer movies, and possibly the most entertainingly cheesy movie of all time. ROAD HOUSE tells the story of James Dalton, an itinerant Zen bouncer (or "cooler" as it's called in the trade) played by Patrick Swayze who comes to town and uses his incredible cooling powers and Zen wisdom ("Pain don't hurt") to help turn a seedy whisky joint into a somewhat less seedy whisky joint by teaching a ragtag gang of lovable losers to believe in themselves and, more importantly, to spot a knife hidden in a shoe from 40 feet away ("Right boot"!). Swayze adds a real touch of class to this otherwise ridiculous B-grade actioner. Come on out as Master Pancake showers this movie with their own brand of affection and helps give a roundhouse kick to Pancreatic Cancer.
