Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his wife, Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), embark on a road trip from Illinois to a California amusement park with their children Rusty (Anthony Michael Hall) and Audrey (Dana Barron). Determined to show his family a good time, Clark perseveres through a cavalcade of misadventures, unaware that his children will be recast again and again in four subsequent sequels (if we count the reboot with Ed Helms).

Join us before the movie for live music by Ben Cook-Feltz!


Iowa-raised, Minneapolis-based Ben Cook-Feltz is a singer, songwriter, drummer and self-taught pianist. Combining observational, sometimes quirky lyrics with melodies that hearken back to the classic sounds of the 60s and 70s, he has been entertaining audiences throughout the Midwest as a dynamic performer, whether playing solo, with his crackerjack band, or backing up some of the finest regional talent. His forthcoming record, Trucks, will be released in October 2023.
