As the autumn leaves fall and the cool November breeze settles in over Fallon, the seasons are officially changing, and there’s no better place to escape the chilly weather than under the warm neon light of the Fallon Theatre marquee. As we settle into this cozy new month, we can't wait to welcome you in for an incredible lineup of movies and live events, especially our upcoming comedy night with Lee Hardin.
At 6 p.m. this Friday and Saturday, join us for the inspiring true-story documentary “Harry & Snowman” (2015). This heartwarming film follows Dutch immigrant Harry de Leyer, who rescued a broken-down plow horse bound for the slaughterhouse for just $80 and named him Snowman. In less than two years, the duo went on to win the triple crown of show jumping, beating the nation's top thoroughbreds and captivating the world. Filled with archival footage, it’s an unforgettable story of second chances and resilience. Not rated, it runs 1 hour and 24 minutes.
Or, at 7 p.m. both nights, step into the marshlands with the compelling drama-mystery “Where the Crawdads Sing” (2022), based on the bestselling novel by Delia Owens. The story follows Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. But when a young man from town is found dead, she is instantly cast as the main suspect, unraveling a captivating tale of survival and secrets. Rated PG-13, it runs 2 hours and 5 minutes.
Following our 6 p.m. film this Saturday, join us at 8 p.m. for the debut of our Sci-Fi Second Feature event. Hosted by a local community member on the second Saturday of every month, this new series is dedicated to bringing classic science fiction to our historic big screen. We're starting with the groundbreaking 1951 classic “The Day the Earth Stood Still” (1951). When an alien spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., the benevolent visitor Klaatu and his powerful robot companion Gort deliver an urgent warning to humanity: live peacefully or risk destruction by higher powers. Come on down, connect with local fans, and enjoy a late-night trip to the movies. This film is rated G with a runtime of 1 hour and 32 minutes.
This month’s Third Friday Matinee, sponsored by The Coalition for Senior Citizens, takes place next week on Friday, Nov. 20, at 1 p.m. We’ll be showing the hilarious 1980 workplace comedy classic, “9 to 5.” Starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton, this beloved hit follows three underappreciated office workers who decide to get even with their egotistical, hypocritical boss in a series of outrageous, turned-real revenge fantasies. Everyone is welcome to attend, but all moviegoers age 60 and older receive a free small popcorn and small soda at the concession stand. Rated PG, it runs 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Get ready for a night of nonstop laughter on Friday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. as Nashville stand-up comedian Lee Hardin (Dry Bar Comedy) brings his hit clean, family-friendly show back to our historic stage. Tickets are already more than halfway sold out, so don't wait until it's too late. Admission is $20 and available right now at leehardincomedy.com. Secure your seats today for a warm, hilarious evening you won't want to miss.
