One man’s poolside journey into the heart of the American dream.

7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ THE SWIMMER
Based on the short story by John Cheever, The Swimmer is a haunting and surreal portrait of mid-century malaise. Burt Lancaster stars as Ned Merrill who decides to "swim" home through a string of backyard pools. The journey starts off playful but gradually unravels into something far more disquieting. As the water gets colder and the conversations more strained, The Swimmer morphs from sunlit satire into a chilling exploration of the fragility of the American dream.
