STAND BY ME: The Film and Its Stars 40 Years Later

Some stories don’t fade with time—they grow deeper. For 40 years, STAND BY ME has spoken to something timeless in all of us: the wonder and heartbreak of growing up, the bonds we form in childhood, and the way those moments stay with us long after the journey ends.

The Film and Its Stars 40 Years Later comes to Dayton for a screening and post-film conversation with stars Corey Feldman, Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton on Saturday, November 14. In honor of the film’s 40th Anniversary, Stand By Me will show on the big screen at Schuster Center followed by an intimate, long-awaited reunion and live conversation with the stars who lived it. Together, Corey, Jerry and Wil will take the stage and celebrate one of the most beloved films of a generation and revisit the summer that changed everything—on set and on screen. They will also share heartfelt reflections on working with their friend and co-star, the late River Phoenix, whose iconic performance continues to resonate with audiences around the world as well as their relationship with beloved director Rob Reiner.
