Description

Ten Sundays, summer through fall, featuring well-loved classics, beneath the stars and above the streets of Iowa City. You never know what we’ll add to each screening to butter up your Rooftop experience. Join us for these very fun, special shows, and buy tickets early as seating is limited, and Rooftop shows do sell out!

Doors open with seating and pre-show 30 minutes before the posted start time. Screening at dusk.


"An attractive, energetic young cast and some witty, off-center visual humor make the resultant laughs more than worth the wait." — Kirk Ellis, The Hollywood Reporter

"The film acquires a pleasant, syncopated rhythm as it bounces from one unlikely event to another." — Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

"One of the most underrated films of the '80s, this is as fresh, quirky and downright romantic as it was back when." — William Thomas, Empire Magazine


New Jersey housewife Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) spices up her boring life by reading personal ads, especially a series of them being placed by a mysterious denizen of New York City named Susan (Madonna). When one of Susan's ads proposes a rendezvous with her suitor at Battery Park, Roberta secretly tags along. But when her voyeuristic jape ends in permanent memory loss and a new jacket, Roberta begins to gather a lot of unwanted attention from some unsavory characters.

In the case of inclement weather, the screening will occur indoors.
