Join us at the Library for the Performing Arts for the horror-comedy classic Ghostbusters as part of our New Classics series at the Library for Performing Arts. Watch as Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis bring their wit and humor to the big screen.

The movie follows four scientists as they take on new roles after they lose their positions at a prestigious university in New York City. Meet Dr. Ray Stantz, played by a young Dan Aykroyd, Dr. Egdon Spengler, played by Harold Ramis, Dr. Peter Venkman and Dr. Winston Zeddmore, played by Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson respectively. Watch the journey of a lifetime, and how it leads them to come together to save New York City from phantom mania!
