John Cusack

John Cusack at Academy of Music

Why see John Cusack?

She gave me a pen

Join John Cusack for a special screening of his 1989 movie Say Anything, followed by a Q&A where you can quiz the actor on the experience of movie making.

The first movie from Cameron Crowe, Say Anything tells the story of the unlikely romance between a high school valedictorian and a regular student after graduation. On its release, it was a critical success, with Roger Ebert remarking that it was "one of the best films of the year, a film that is really about something, that cares deeply about the issues it contains yet it also works wonderfully as a funny, warmhearted romantic comedy."

Including the famous boombox scene and delightful performances from Cusack and Ione Skye as Lloyd and Diane, don't miss this rare chance to see it and then quiz the man himself!

Great to have John in Chicago

John was true to form, candid, funny and entertaining. The moderator was good and set a relaxed mood. Brave of John to provide an open mic to the crowd for questions - there were definitely a few folks who wanted to hear themselves talk, but we heard from a neighbor who was 5 when they shot the scene by the bus stop in the rain…very funny. ...

For John, 5 Stars, for Moderator, 2 Stars

John was open, friendly and extremely personable to everyone who asked a question. He's an outgoing person, highly intelligent and loves his craft. The moderator was a little too fan-boy and intimidated at the beginning, but improved as we went along. I've never been to this type of event but I'm so glad I went. I very much enjoyed it. Some very cringe things were said to John unfortunately, and not everyone behaved appropriately but people are people and I'm sure John's had to endure worse. John, please return to Tacoma. We'd love to do this again some time! ... Read more
