Manship Theatre will screen the Coen Brothers’ cult comedy The Big Lebowski on Saturday in honor of Baton Rouge’s hosting the U.S. Bowling Congress Open Championships. Film producer and distributor Jeff Dowd, the inspiration for Jeff Bridges’ iconic persona “The Dude,” will be on hand for the 7 p.m. screening that will include bar service—complete with Lebowski-approved White Russians and other libations. Dowd will introduce the movie and discuss a new Louisiana film festival he’s developing with a group of local industry professionals. Tickets range from $20 for the pre-show and screening to $40 for the whole shebang, including an after-party. Discounts are available for students and USBC members in town for the championships.
