It's perfect for summer barbeques, pool parties, family reunions and backyard birthday parties. Packages for outdoor screenings include a state of the art 16'x9' inflatable screen, digital projection, theater quality sound and an experienced crew to manage all the technical details of the screening.

The Rolling Roadshow Tour
Every summer, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema takes to the road, departing from Austin, Texas on a whirlwind tour, hosting free 35mm screenings of famous movies in famous places. Known as The Rolling Roadshow Tour, the organization has been to the Field of Dreams in Iowa to show Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner live in person, Devil's Tower in Wyoming for a screening of Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind and Alcatraz Island for a screening of Escape From Alcatraz. This summer the Rolling Roadshow travels to Almeria Spain (June 6-8) to screen the Sergio Leone Dollars trilogy. These screenings are sponsored by the MGM Channel and Teuve. We'll also be heading out to Morgan, UT for Nilbog Invasion, the single largest Troll 2 Gathering in history!

"I am tremendously excited to be a part of the [Roadshow] experience," says Chuck Dorman, star of the opening film of the tour, Fandango. "I think fan support for this event is going to be unusually high so I'm going to do everything I can to help make it an extremely memorable occasion."
