Movies and More

A big thank-you to everyone who joined us last weekend for Performing Arts of Churchill County’s (PACC) “Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr.” The show was a huge success and such a joy to host on our historic stage. We’re proud to support PACC and the local talent that brings our community together through the arts.

Spooky-season fun continues at the Fallon Theatre with two family-friendly Halloween favorites.

This Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m., join us for “Casper” (1995), the heartwarming tale of a friendly ghost who befriends a young girl after she moves into a haunted mansion. Rated PG; 1 hour, 40 minutes.

Then at 7 p.m., stick around for “Hocus Pocus” (1993), the fan-favorite Halloween classic where three resurrected witches return to modern-day Salem for a night of spooky adventure. Rated PG; 1 hour, 36 minutes.

Also, this Saturday, Oct. 25, at 3 p.m., the Fallon Theatre hosts the Churchill County Museum’s annual Adult Chautauqua Theater Program. This year’s theme is Agriculture, following previous sold-out shows “Shades of Yesteryear” and “Nevada’s Pioneering Spirits.” The production features talented local performers, including our own Glen Perazzo as Alfred Oats. Tickets are $25 at the door, with discounts for advance purchase at the Churchill County Museum or by calling 775-423-3677, ext. 1.

Halloween night is shaping up to be one of the best yet. From 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31, downtown transforms for the Maine Street Spooktacular. Families can enjoy safe trick-or-treating, games, costumes, and decorations as Maine Street closes to traffic for this beloved community event. Keep an eye out for something new towering above the crowd this year — a giant pumpkin surprise you won’t want to miss. Organizers are still welcoming sponsors and donations to keep this tradition growing.

At 7 p.m., cap off the night inside the Fallon Theatre with the interactive cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Admission is $10, and props are welcome (nothing wet or messy inside the theatre, please). Grab your friends, get ready to do the Time Warp, and close out Halloween with a lively evening of music, laughter, and audience participation.

Looking ahead to November:
Fri., Nov. 14, 7 p.m. — Nashville comedian Lee Hardin returns with a clean stand-up set. Tickets: $20.
Sat., Nov. 15, 7 p.m. — River Rogue in concert, blending country, rock, and blues. Free admission; tips appreciated.
Sat., Nov. 22, 7 p.m. — The Kindred North, acoustic duo founded in Fallon by Raena Blais and McKenzie Warren. Admission: $12.

Our full schedules for November and December will be released soon with more movies, concerts, and community events for the holiday season. If you’ve enjoyed our 4D movie events, watch the December schedule — another immersive adventure is on the way.

As always, movie screenings at the Fallon Theatre are free to attend, and our concession stand is stocked with popcorn, candy, and great snacks. To rent the theatre for your own gathering or put a special message on our marquee, call 775-423-6210 or email [email protected]
