The Room is a 2003 film written, directed, and produced by Tommy Wiseau, who also stars in the film alongside Juliette Danielle and Greg Sestero. Set in San Francisco, the film is centered around a melodramatic love triangle between amiable banker Johnny (Wiseau), his deceptive fiancée Lisa (Danielle), and his conflicted best friend Mark (Sestero).
Originally shown only in a limited release in California, “The Room” quickly became a cult film due to its bizarre and unconventional storytelling, technical and narrative issues, and Wiseau’s performance. “The Disaster Artist”, Sestero’s memoir of the making of “The Room”, was published in 2013. A film of the same title based on the book, directed by and starring James Franco, was released on December 1, 2017. The book and film received widespread acclaim and numerous award nominations.
You’ll find yourself saying “What a story, Mark!” time and time again, as he’s not keeping any of his stupid comments in his pocket on this night. Plus a meet-and-greet with Greg after the show…and maybe even a bonus surprise or two?! Don’t be chip-chip-chip-chip-cheep-cheep…get your tickets before they’re here and gone like Claudette’s breast cancer.
