Movies and More

Happy Mother’s Day weekend. We are celebrating the incredible moms and maternal figures in our community at the Fallon Theatre with a lineup centered on connection and the journey of family. It is the perfect time to gather the influential women in your life, head to the theater, and enjoy two films that highlight the power of these bonds.

At 6 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, we invite you to experience the animated adventure “The Wild Robot” (2024). The film follows Roz, a shipwrecked robot who must adapt to an uninhabited island and bond with local wildlife, eventually becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. It is a story of survival and discovery. Rated PG, it runs 1 hour, 42 minutes.

At 7 p.m. both nights, we shift to nostalgic comedy with “Freaky Friday” (2003). Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan star as a mother and daughter who switch bodies after a magical fortune cookie forces them to live each other’s lives. As they navigate each other’s routines, they must reconcile their differences before the change becomes permanent. Rated PG, it runs 1 hour, 37 minutes.

Looking ahead, we are anticipating the return of the Toiyabe Chamber Music Society on Saturday, May 16 at 7 p.m. for its Loneliest Road Chamber Music Project. The Berkelium String Quartet will perform a program featuring Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” and works by Beethoven, accompanied by projected images. Admission is by donation, and families are encouraged to attend for an evening of live music.

As summer approaches, we are preparing to welcome Ventura Highway: The Music of America on Saturday, July 18 at 8 p.m. This concert brings the harmonies and classics of the band America to our stage, offering a timeless sound that continues to resonate with audiences. Tickets are $10, making it an accessible way to enjoy a night of live music as we head into the sunny season.

We remain proud to serve as your community hub for film and live performances. Be sure to visit our concession stand for fresh popcorn and your favorite treats to complete your moviegoing experience. If you are interested in renting the theater for a private event or would like to see your name in lights on our marquee, please reach out.
