Movies and More

With Easter just around the corner, we have a beautiful weekend of films lined up here at the Fallon Theatre that are perfect for the season, and we hope you'll make a little time to join us before the holiday!

This Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m., we are delighted to bring you Joseph: King of Dreams (2000), DreamWorks' gorgeous and moving animated story of a prophet who can interpret dreams and is sold into slavery in Egypt, where people learn of his gifts. Featuring the voice talents of Mark Hamill and Ben Affleck, this film is unrated and runs 1 hour, 14 minutes.

Or, at 7 p.m. both nights, step into a world of glitter and glamour with Easter Parade (1948), the classic MGM musical starring the incomparable Fred Astaire and Judy Garland at their very best as a nightclub performer who hires a naive chorus girl to become his new dance partner. Filled with dazzling Irving Berlin songs, it is exactly the kind of film that leaves you with a smile. Unrated; it runs 1 hour, 43 minutes.

We are so pleased to share that the Coalition for Senior Citizens will host its third Friday matinee here at the Fallon Theatre on Friday, April 17, at 1 p.m., featuring The Intern (2015), a warm, wonderfully funny film starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. All senior citizens aged 60 and over will receive a free small popcorn and small drink, though, as always, everyone in the community is warmly welcome to come along and enjoy the free showing. It's a lovely, inexpensive way to spend an afternoon, and we hope to see a great crowd.

One of our most anticipated spring events is just around the corner with the Toiyabe Chamber Music Society returning to the Fallon Theatre on Saturday, May 16 at 7 p.m. for their Loneliest Road Chamber Music Project. The remarkable Berkelium String Quartet from Berkeley, California, will open their Nevada tour right here on our stage with a rich and varied program including Schubert's “Death and the Maiden”, a new composition by Daniel Darmesin Flanagan, and a Beethoven Quartet, accompanied throughout by stunning projected images. Admission is by donation, and children are very welcome. This is live chamber music at its finest, right here in Fallon.

Summer is coming, and we intend to enjoy it in style with Ventura Highway—The Music of America taking the stage on Saturday, July 18 at 8 p.m., and it is going to be a spectacular evening. Rich harmonies, beloved classics, and the timeless sound of the band, America, all come together in a concert experience that audiences cannot get enough of. Tickets are just $10, and we can't wait to share the memories with you.

As always, we are proud to keep our doors open and our screens lit for this incredible community. Free moviegoing is something we will continue to work hard to provide whenever we possibly can. Don't forget to stop by the concession stand for fresh popcorn, candy, and all the classic favorites that make a night at the movies feel just right. And if you've ever thought about hosting a celebration here or putting a message up on our marquee, we would love to hear from you!
