The Princess Bride: An Inconceivable Evening With Cary Elwes
October 17, 2026 · 7:30 PM · 136 N 6th St, Reading
About the event
Cary Elwes, who played Westley, comes to the Santander Performing Arts Center on October 17 for an evening built around one of the most quoted films ever made. The night begins with a screening of The Princess Bride, followed by a moderated conversation in which Elwes shares personal recollections and behind the scenes stories from life on and off the set.
It is a chance to return to Florin and Guilder and everything that comes with them: fencing, giants, chases, rodents of unusual size, narrow escapes, miracles, and true love. Longtime fans who can recite the lines and newcomers seeing it on a big screen for the first time will both find plenty to enjoy.
Beyond his role as the Man in Black, Elwes has appeared in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Days of Thunder, Twister, Liar Liar, Saw, Seinfeld, Stranger Things, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning. Doors open at 6:30 PM, with the program starting at 7:30 PM.
Hosted by Santander Performing Arts Center on BerksConnect.
