CAN I KICK IT? Downtown Pittsburgh presents "The Matrix"

The Downtown Pittsburgh Partnership and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust present a whole new outdoor movie experience. They are teaming up with the creators of Shaolin Jazz to bring the CAN I KICK IT? outdoor movie experience to Pittsburgh for the first time. At each event action films and martial arts flicks are scored live (scene-by-scene) with a blend of Hip Hop and much more mixed by DJ 2-Tone Jones.

On Thursday, Sept 19 at the Backyard located at 8th & Penn they will present a special outdoor screening of one of the greatest sci-fi action films of all time, The Matrix starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne. (This film is rated R and contains some violence)

The event is free for all ages and open to the public. The festivities will kick off at 6pm with an opening set by Pittsburgh's own DJ Blakk Steel, followed by a breakdancing performance by the Pittsburgh Poppers. The film will begin around 7:30pm.

*Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. Food trucks and other amenities will be on site.
