Detroit’s deranged tribute to the prolific actor Nicolas Cage (“our one true god,” as event organizers describe him) is back. Like others, the folks behind the annual Nicolas Uncaged event took a year off due to the pandemic, and with the virus an ongoing concern, this year’s event is going to be a little different — but the organizers are trying to still have some fun with it.
Though masks are encouraged, organizers are urging a formal gala-style dress code, so get working on those Met Gala-worthy looks. (But, you know, with a Detroit spin on it. We know you don’t have money.) Organizers say they’re limiting ticket sales at the 700-person Senate Theater to allow for social distancing, and are requiring proof of vaccination at the door.
Party for a good cause: Funds raised from the double feature (2002’s mind-bending postmodern comedy-drama Adaptation and 2018’s psych-horror Mandy) will go toward the Senate Theater and Midtown’s Cinema Detroit, which have been hurt by the pandemic.
Doors at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19; Senate Theater; 6424 Michigan Ave., Detroit; 313-894-0850; senatetheater.com. Tickets are $25.
