    Special Film Event with LIVE Shadowcast by Legal Assassins. In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera. http://www.repo-opera.com/. The Legal Assassins are fans brought together by the love of the film “ Repo the Genetic Opera” and we reenact the film as it plays on a nearby screen. This has been done previously with such cult films like “ The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, “ Hedwig and the Angry Itch” and “Pricilla Queen of the Desert”. This film is a new cult favorite, starring Anthony Stuart Head (Buffy), Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), Paris Hilton (yes, but she is really good in it, I promise) , Ogre (Skinny Puppy), Sarah Brightman, and Paul Sorvino (Godfather) There will also be an entertaining preshow, not to be missed!
