Leading up to the screening, guests are invited to meet-up, chow-down, and drink up at the nearby Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the theater.
The Mandy premiere party will take place on Thursday, Sept. 13. The pre-party begins at Gus's at 6 p.m. followed by the screenings at 8 p.m. Tickets for the event are $10 and can be purchased via the Cinema Detroit website.
