Presented in partnership with Natural State Roller Derby and Starlight Skatium, join us for a special screening of Whip It (2009), a spirited sports comedy-drama directed by Drew Barrymore. The film follows a rebellious teenager from small-town Texas, who discovers her passion for roller derby, transforming her life and defying expectations.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there—after the film, lace up your skates and join us in the North Courtyard pop-up rink for a high-energy roller skating party! Groove to the music as you roll, spin, and skate alongside the fierce athletes who embody the spirit of the movie.
This event is free and open to all ages. Please bring ID for drink purchases and your own set of wheels and ride or skate at your own risk. Limited skates will be available for rental, first come first serve.
Free, tickets required. Reserve your spot online or with the Box Office at (479) 657-2335
Event Schedule:
1pm-3pm Film Screening in Fermentation Hall
