The Sopranos, The Muppet Show, or Star Trek, and more ... take your pick!
The Paley Center offers all Members the opportunity to program our giant-screen theater. You tell us what to screen (provided it is included in our collection of 160,000 programs—we’re sure you’ll find something you like!) and all you have to do is invite your friends, family, officemates, band members, and more to join the fun! You can even request that one of our Curators (aka Television Experts) be available to take questions from the audience.
How do you choose?
Search the Paley Archive Catalog of Programs.
