(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents a special 40th anniversary screening of The Goonies with Corey Feldman and Kerri Green on Friday, March 20, 2026 at 7:30pm.
The Goonies is a heart-pounding, treasure-hunting adventure that has captured generations of movie lovers. When a group of misfits called the Goonies discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find the legendary treasure of the pirate known as One-Eyed Willy. Full of “booby traps”, unforgettable characters, iconic moments, and 1980s nostalgia, The Goonies is more than a movie, it’s an adventure for all ages.
Relive the adventure. The nostalgia. And all the quotable lines. After the screening, Corey and Kerri share behind-the-scenes stories and hilarious personal anecdotes, and answer your questions. Join together with fans of all ages and generations who have kept the film’s spirit alive since 1985, because “Goonies Never Say Die!”
