To celebrate the extended run of *Empire Skate* **(now open through November 25!)** and as an homage to Empire's legendary roller disco parties, we've organized a late-night skate at [Hyde Park Roller Magic](http://hydeparkrollermagic.com/). Join us on **Saturday, November 3 at 10:30 pm** for a sneak preview of the skating documentary *United Skates* followed by skating til the early morning hours.

*United Skates*, a 2018 Tribeca Film Festival Audience Award winner, reveals close-knit skating communities across the country and their fights to save local rinks from closure and to preserve these hubs of African-American culture. Co-director Tina Brown and documentary participant Reggie Brown will screen clips and discuss the film. Then, Empire legends **DJ Big Bob** – a keystone of the Empire sound for almost 2 decades – and **DJ Q** spin soul, disco, and R&B to get the Brooklyn bounce going!

**Advance tickets are on sale now for $25 ($22 for Reliquary members) and include round-trip bus transportation from Brooklyn to Hyde Park Roller Magic. Details soon. **Hyde Park Roller Magic is located at 4178 Albany Post Rd., Hyde Park, NY. Tickets at the door are $15 ($12 for Reliquary members).
