A Conversation With John Cusack

The 30th anniversary of the cult classic film Say Anything will be one to remember for John Cusack fans. The actor himself is coming to The Touhill Performing Arts Center on June 14 to take part in a conversation with guests following a free screening of the film.

The 1989 comedy/drama Say Anything brought popular culture the love story of Lloyd Dobler (actor John Cusack) and Diane Court (actress Ione Skye). An eternal optimist seeks the heart of a “brain trapped in the body of a game show hostess.” Ranked by “Entertainment Weekly” as one of the greatest modern movie romances (and #11 on the list of 50 best high-school movies), Say Anything made a star out of John Cusack who went on to success in multiple films including High FidelityGrosse Point Blank, and Being John Malkovich, among others.

Now, join John Cusack for a screening of Say Anything followed by a live conversation regarding his career and the making of Say Anything. Roger Ebert called the movie “one of the best films of the year” when it was released. Fans will now get the opportunity to experience a moderated discussion, with John answering audience questions as well.

The evening begins at 7:30pm, and tickets are still available at touhill.org. VIP gold circle seats include a post show photo op with John Cusack.
