Geek Out & About Brunswick: Cosplay for a Cause
2026-03-29 16:00 - 19:00, 2026-03-28 16:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Eveningstar Cinema, 149 Maine Street, Brunswick, Maine, 04011
Hear ye, hear ye! Join us for a special kickoff event for our new monthly movie series in collaboration with Eveningstar Cinema x Elevenses!
Geek Out & About is an upcoming monthly collaboration between Eveningstar Cinema x Elevenses Cafe (and Tavern!!) featuring nostalgically nerdy movies, mystery screenings, and themed dinners inspired by the specially selected film of the month.
The movie is revealed when the lights go down, and the menu is designed to match the story.
For this first installment, we’re celebrating nostalgic nerd culture with Cosplay for a Cause — a community event supporting our local cinema. Our first three movies will be known ahead of time and will feature the LOTR trilogy in honor of the 25th anniversary of the film series, and we will announce the second movie date (The Two Towers) for April and (Return of the King) for May in the very near future!
Guests are encouraged to dress in themed costume as we enjoy a featured film along with a themed secret dinner menu experience inspired by the film created by Elevenses Tavern. Elevenses will be popping up at this event with themed movie packs available for purchase/preorder and a portion of all sales will go directly to the cinema. Costume contest and more to be announced. Dinner will immediately follow the film at Elevenses, starting at roughly 7 PM (see tickets for details). Each movie ticket supports the theater with a special price of $11/ea. This event helps support the continued operation of our beloved local theater while bringing the community together for a fun—dare we say—nerdy night out.
Seating is limited and tickets are required. Tickets are live below!
