At North Bowl, next Wednesday, January 19th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., WHYY celebrates the opening film of their 25th season of the American Masters series, “Jeff Bridges: The Dude Abides”, with bowling, bathrobes and other Dude-esque festivities.

WHYY’s American Masters is an ongoing series of award-winning primetime specials examining the lives, works and creative processes of our most outstanding cultural artists (think Charlie Chaplin, Billie Holliday, Paul Simon). WHYY is crowning Jeff Bridges the next Master TONIGHT at 8 p.m. on PBS.

Admission to the celebratory North Bowl event includes: access to four private bowling lanes, appetizers (tater tots, pretzels, eggplant parm bites and hummus), costume and trivia contests, complimentary Sioux City Sarsaparilla, and two drink tickets redeemable for the evening’s specialty cocktail, the White Russian. Clips from the film will be screened throughout the night.

Proceeds from the event support programs like American Masters on WHYY.
