Movies and More

Spring is settling in beautifully, and there’s no better way to enjoy these longer, warmer evenings than with a great film and good company. We hope you'll join us this weekend.

It’s time for the third Friday senior matinee, and we’re excited to welcome back our friends from the Coalition for Senior Citizens to the Fallon Theatre at 1 p.m. Friday, March 20, for a special showing of "Cocoon" (1985). This quirky sci-fi drama makes for a perfect afternoon escape. All senior attendees receive a free small popcorn and drink. We look forward to another afternoon with our valued community members.

This Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m., experience the magic and music of "Encanto" (2021), Disney’s vibrant celebration of family and identity. Set in Colombia, Mirabel discovers she may hold the key to saving her family's enchanted home. Bursting with color and unforgettable songs, the film is rated PG and runs 1 hour, 42 minutes.

At 7 p.m. both nights, settle in for "Cocoon" (1985), Ron Howard’s beloved tale of friendship and new beginnings. When retirement community residents stumble on a remarkable secret in a neighbor’s pool, their lives are transformed. Warm, funny, and touching, it’s rated PG-13 and runs 1 hour, 57 minutes.

Have you checked out our changes yet? Our brand-new laser projectors deliver stunning images, and beautiful new seating in the lower theatre is complete. None of it would be possible without the generosity and hard work of our volunteers, and we are grateful for every one of them.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to welcome the Toiyabe Chamber Music Society for their Loneliest Road Chamber Music Project on Saturday, May 16 at 7 p.m., featuring the Berkelium String Quartet as they begin their Nevada tour. This ensemble from Berkeley, California, will perform Schubert’s "Death and the Maiden," a new work by Daniel Darmesin Flanagan, and a Beethoven Quartet, all with projected images. Admission is by donation, and children are welcome, making it a wonderful opportunity to experience live chamber music in our community.

Coming to the stage this summer, Ventura Highway—The Music of America performs Saturday, July 18 at 8 p.m. for a night of timeless music and harmonies. This tribute celebrates America’s iconic sound, bringing beloved hits to life in a concert audiences love. Admission is $10, and it’s sure to be a summer night you won’t want to miss.

The Fallon Theatre team is proud to offer free movie screenings whenever possible, making it easy for the whole community to gather. Our concession stand will be open with all the classic favorites, including fresh popcorn and candy. If you’d like to rent the theatre or feature a message on the marquee, please call 775-423-6210 or email [email protected].
