DeKalb, IL – The Egyptian Theatre in Downtown DeKalb is very excited to welcome DeKalb native Richard Jenkins to the Egyptian on Tuesday, October 30 to cap off their Richard Jenkins Film Series.

Prior to the film, the Egyptian will be hosting a Pre-Movie Star Reception starting at 5 PM. This is a limited ticket event with tickets priced at $50. All funds raised will benefit the Egyptian Theatre. Each ticket includes entry into the reception, appetizers, a champagne toast, and a cash bar.
Movie entry tickets for “The Shape of Water” are sold separately from the reception tickets. Movie tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for students and seniors. Friends of the Egyptian Theatre members save $2 on movie tickets.
