Do you want to know why high school football is the king of Texas? Attend the screening of the 1999 film “Varsity Blues” along with a Q&A session with actor James Van Der Beek, who stars in the film alongside Jon Voigt, Paul Walker, Ron Lester, Scott Caan, Amy Smart and Ali Larter. In small-town Texas, 17-year-old schoolboys carry the hopes of an entire community onto the gridiron every Friday night. When star quarterback Lance Harbor (Walker) suffers an injury, the Coyotes are forced to regroup under the questionable leadership of John Moxon (Van Der Beek), a second-string quarterback with a slightly irreverent approach to the game.
