Take the trip this August... From Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee and based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, TAKING WOODSTOCK stars Demetri Martin as Elliot who, in the summer of 1969, has to move to his parents dumpy Catskills motel called the El Monaco in order to help save it from being taken over by the bank. Upon hearing that a planned music and arts festival has lost its permit from the neighboring town of Wallkill, NY, Elliot calls producer Michael Lang (Jonathan Groff) at Woodstock Ventures to offer his family’s motel to the promoters and generate some much-needed business. Elliot also introduces Lang to his neighbor Max Yasgur (Eugene Levy), who operates a 600-acre dairy farm down the road. Soon the Woodstock staff is moving into the El Monaco - and half a million people are on their way to Yasgur’s farm for "3 days of Peace & Music." With a little help from his parents [Henry Goodman and Imelda Staunton] and friends [Emile Hirsch and Liev Schreiber] - and with a little opposition from townspeople - Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life - and popular culture - forever.
