I really want to see Philip Glass's Einstein On The Beach on the big screen, but I don't know of any places that play it. I would probably pay $200-300 (it would take a few months to save it) to hold a screening but no theaters really show their prices or anything. I just thought it would be cool to hold that as an event. I could probably invite a lot of people.
How practical is it?
Is it hard to hold a private screening?

It's practical. Talk to your local art house theater & make sure you have your shit together. Either have a print ready to go or get access to the film on DCP or a Blu-ray. Make sure to schedule your show during lower traffic times - if you want to save money look plan for Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays otherwise your rental price could double, if not triple on the weekend. But renting a theater is pretty easy.
Honestly the bigger question will be getting the rights to play the content itself. You'd have to reach out to the distributors & that's where it could really cost you.
