About this performance

Stand By Me: The Film and Its Stars 40 Years Later celebrates the enduring legacy of Rob Reiner's beloved 1986 coming-of-age film. Based on Stephen King's novella The Body, the movie launched the careers of young actors Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell while capturing the universal experience of childhood friendship and loss of innocence. The film's exploration of loyalty, mortality, and the bittersweet nature of growing up has resonated with audiences for decades, earning critical acclaim and a devoted following.

This special event offers fans a unique opportunity to revisit the film's impact through retrospective storytelling, behind-the-scenes insights, and perhaps appearances by cast members or filmmakers. Expect an intimate evening that combines film appreciation with live discussion, creating a communal experience for those who grew up with the movie and newcomers discovering its magic. The format typically includes film clips, personal anecdotes, and audience interaction that brings the nostalgic world of Castle Rock to life.

The Murat Theatre at Old National Centre provides an elegant setting for this cinematic celebration. Built in 1909, this historic Indianapolis venue combines old-world charm with modern amenities, featuring ornate architecture and excellent acoustics that enhance the intimate nature of film-focused events.
