Ten-year-old Macaulay Culkin’s post-aftershave scream is one of the most iconic moments in American cinema. Thirty-five years after “Home Alone,” he rocks a stubbly beard. And he’s bringing it to Tampa.

Culkin will be at the Straz Center on Dec. 4 taking audience questions and sharing memories after a “Home Alone” screening.

Post-child star fame, Culkin has worked on comedies and darker projects like “Righteous Gemstones,” “Robot Chicken” and “American Horror Story.”

In a recent Hot Ones interview, he debunked a “Home Alone” rumor and talked family and fame.

Tickets for “A Nostalgic Evening with Macaulay Culkin” happening at Tampa’s David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts go on sale Friday, Aug. 22 at 12 p.m.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
