The Apollo: 30 Years of House Party

The Apollo celebrates 30 Years of House Party in an evening featuring performances, conversations, and highlights from the musical and comedy cult classics House Party (1990) and House Party 2 (1991). These iconic films were among the first films to center the Black teenage experience for a mainstream audience.

30 Years of House Party will feature performances by, r&b/hip-hop group Full Force, Lisa Lisa, and DJ Wiz and appearances by some of the film’s key players including Kid ‘N Play, A.J. Johnson; Darryl “Chill” Mitchell; writer and director Reginald Hudlin; producer Warrington Hudlin, and other special guests. This ultimate 90s throwback is a celebration of a pivotal moment in Black cinema and hip-hop history.
