Mark Webber, who was born in Minneapolis but grew up in a variety of places, is coming home for a benefit performance of his film, "Explicit Ills."
How you know Webber depends a lot on your demographic. Woody Allen fans will remember him from his role in "Hollywood Endings." Fans of twisted films may have seen him as a tortured artiste in "Storytelling." And the Nickelodeon crowd will remember him flinging snowballs in "Snow Day." "Explicit Ills," the actor's directing debut, is about love, drugs and poverty. The screening will benefit Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, founded by Webber's mother, Cheri Honkala — who, like Webber, is formerly homeless.
Tickets are $10 or $20 and can be purchased at the Parkway Theater, 4814 Chicago Ave. S., Minneapolis. For more information, call 612-822-3030.
