  • Crosstown Arthouse presents Blood and Black Lace

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    If you loved Last Night in Soho, come to the Crosstown Theater to catch Blood and Black Lace! From AGFA: Before Dario Argento’s Deep Red, there was Mario Bava’s Blood and Black Lace. At the Cristiana Haute Couture fashion house, models and their boyfriends excel at the art of backstabbing, blackmail, and snorting cocaine. That is, until a faceless maniac embarks on a mission of death! After the one-two punch of Black Sunday and Black Sabbath, Mario Bava unleashed Blood and Black Lace — the movie that perfected the ultra-violent sub-genre that would come to be known as “giallo.” With a mood that mashes together the elegance of a quiet rain on a summer night with the luridness of a trashy paperback, it’s no wonder why Martin Scorsese once referred to this movie as “an incredible moment for cinema.”

  • Tm. Prudhomme’s “False starts, Fake ending”

    Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    * Steve Shelley, Tripp Lamkins, Keith Cooper, Dustin Cropps, Andrew Geraci, et al.

  • POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    Sorry for the inconvenience, but this film is being postponed until further notice.

    A Tree Grows in Brooklyn tells the story of an Irish immigrant family, the Nolans, living out their lives in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn in 1912, about 100 years before Williamsburg got to be the gentrified hell-hole that it currently is. This story takes place when the neighborhood was filled with thousands of first-generation immigrants from all different parts of the world, crammed together in tenements and hustling every day to put food on the table and maybe a little liquor down their gullet! With Dorthy McGuire (Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson) as the perpetually pregnant Katie Nolan! Joan Blondell (Glenda in Stay Away, Joe) as sassy Aunt Sissy!! Come out and get in the spirit with us!! A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a CAN’T MISS!!!

  • The (blank) Dicks present “Come, Christmas! Cumback!”

    Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Fire up the prayer chain and clutch your pearls, because Christmas is coming and so are The (blank) Dicks! After a long medical hiatus (we're not saying who, but someone had an "incident" at the bathhouse that required a full restringing of their guitar, if you know what I mean), your favorite queer country band is back for their first show under a new name, to be revealed for the first time at the show! They'll ruin your favorite holiday songs, unload some special gifts and guests from Santa's big ole sack, and make the yuletide gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. So gather up the family, tell them all to leave you alone and stay home for at least one night for the love of God, and then skip on down to Crosstown for the holiday show you deserve!

  • Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night in Memphis

    Crosstown Brewing Co. 1264 Concourse Ave., Memphis TN 38104

    Phil Kline's Unsilent Night is a free outdoor participatory sound sculpture of many individual parts, recorded on cassettes, CDs, and mp3s, and played through a roving swarm of boomboxes carried through city streets every December. People bring their own boomboxes (phones with Bluetooth speakers are fine, too!) and drift peacefully through a cloud of sound, which is different from every listener's perspective. Since 1992, this 45-minute work has grown into a worldwide annual communal event that has become an essential part of many winter holiday celebrations. This is the first time for the event to take place in Memphis!

  • POSTPONED: Citizen Cope

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    Out of an abundance of caution, with Covid cases on the rise, Citizen Cope has made the tough decision to postpone the planned January 6 show at Crosstown Theater. We're issuing full refunds to all who have purchased tickets. We're so sorry for any inconvenience!

    Describing his music is difficult; he's been inspired by artists such as John Lennon and Stevie Wonder to Bob Marley and Outkast. Citizen Cope's compositions have been recorded by Carlos Santana, Dido, and Richie Havens. In 20 years of touring, he has built a devout following, performing at sold-out theaters and ballrooms across the country.

    Over time, Cope's music has become the soundtrack to the lives of those who have embraced it, and he continues to inspire audiences through what can only be described as deep personal connection.

  • Microcinema: Southern Foodways Alliance Shorts – Land, Water, and Sky

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    In partnership with the Southern Foodways Alliance and Indie Memphis, we are excited to be starting off Microcinema in the new year with a selection of films from Southern Foodways' incredible catalog of films that document various Southern food cultures, traditions, and practices that have shaped the past, present, and future of the South. This program features short films that consider farmers' (particularly Black farmers') relationship to the land, water, and sky that they steward and the lineages that make it possible to consider the future in farming and food.
