Overall, there are many movies and events to see at the Kenworthy this October but as for what the Kenworthy staff is looking forward to Ben Ramalingam, whose worked at the Kenworthy for eight years, says “October has a lot of good things: between Rocky Horror Picture Show, which we do every year, we’re ending with a live play of Nosferatu I’m excited for that. But this year’s been our 100th year, and we’ve been doing centennial movies each month, and I am looking forward to Little Miss Sunshine; that one’s going to be a lot of fun.”
