October 14, 2022 @ 6:00 PM - 9:30 PM

Two siblings (Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer) running a horse ranch in California discover something wonderful and sinister in the skies above. Meanwhile, the owner of an adjacent theme park (Steven Yeun) tries to profit from the mysterious, otherworldly phenomenon. From the mind of Jordan Peele. 

Join us at 6PM to listen as Kentucky Science Center staffer Corey Thomas joins in conversation with UofL Professors Dr. Kaila Story and Dr. Brandon McCormack on Black filmmaking. Nope begins at 7PM. Tickets are $5 per person and are available here.
