...Cambridge’s only independent theater often has special weekday themes, such as “Gay Tuesdays”—featuring movies about the gay community—or “Film Noir Mondays?? for thriller-lovers.

As the DJ behind such culture-defining parties as Future and Land of Oz at London superclub Heaven, Oakenfold was once at rave music’s very forefront. His production work on the Happy Mondays?? Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches foresaw Ecstasy culture’s invasion of pop art, and his genre-hopping 1994 Goa Mix broke boundaries. Let no one question the man’s reputation; he’s paid his dues...
