OHIO Dad’s Weekend ’26: MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL

Bring your dad. Bring your best British accent. Leave your sense of dignity at the door…

Join us Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th at 7:00 p.m. for a classic British comedy that is sure to get medieval on you and make your “knights” in Athens unforgettable…It’s Monty Python and The Holy Grail!

Two weekend showtimes:

Friday 11/6 at 7:00 p.m.

Saturday 11/7 at 7:00 p.m.

Admission $8

We’ll have special themed cocktails and (maybe) a fire-tossing wizard named Tim.

We encourage you to dress up in a period-correct costume – a gallant knight, a repressed peasant covered in mud, a coconut-clopping squire…even an African swallow. If you’re into that.

About the Film

Poking fun at the revered legend of King Arthur and his Knights of The Round Table, the troupe of Pythons pull out all the comedic stops for a wild (and irreverent) ride through the misty Dark Ages! Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam are in top form as various characters in some of the most side-splitting material ever put on screen. Bits like “The Knights Who Say Ni!”, “The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch”, “The Trojan Rabbit”, and “The Black Knight” have etched themselves permanently on the landscape of comedy like the ornate letters in an old biblical manuscript!

Maybe your mother isn’t a hamster, and perhaps your father doesn’t smell like elderberries, but one thing’s for sure — watching this film together will give you and your family a (Came)lot of good times to share!
