Jon Voight "Beyond" Preview at the Drexel Theatre
March 15, 2012
Jon Voight, the Oscar-winning actor and star of films like “Deliverance”, “Midnight Cowboy” and “The Champ,” came to the Drexel Sunday night to preview his new film, “Beyond.” After the film, Voight held court in the packed theater for a Q&A about filmmaking, psychics, and that famous taxi scene with Dustin Hoffman in “Cowboy.”

15th Annual Drexel Red Carpet Bash
March 02, 2012
Drexel Oscar Party a Success! Thanks to everyone who came out to the 15th Annual Drexel Red Carpet Bash last Sunday. The packed crowd had a great time and proceeds raised will support the AIDS Resource Center of Ohio who helps people affected by HIV/AIDS throughout Ohio, and the Friends of the Drexel, Inc.
Robert Lewis of Columbus won the annual "You Pick the Winners" contest, predicting 20 out of 24 categories correctly. Robert won a "year's worth of movies for two at the Drexel" and a special movie gift basket provided by Focus Features. This year's runner-up was Mick Arnett, who predicted 19 of 24 award categories.
Special thanks to our sponsors, The Other Paper, SUNNY 95 FM Radio, WOW Cable and Hot Cards Columbus, all the Bexley area restaurants for providing delicious hors d'oeuvres, and our great volunteers who helped at the event. A very special tip of Oscar's hat to our host David Emerson, WSNY Radio, Jack Chomsky and Susan Gellman for their inventive songs and lyrics, and Olympic Theatre Productions for schmoozing on the red carpet. And again thanks to our many Oscar party-goers - without your support this fundraiser could not take place.
