Thank you to everyone who has been spending their evenings with us at the Fallon Theatre as we welcome the month of June. As the afternoon heat begins to settle over the valley, there is nothing quite like escaping into the cool, air-conditioned comfort of our historic auditorium with fresh popcorn and a classic film.
At 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, we invite audiences of all ages to enjoy "The Little Princess" (1939), starring Shirley Temple. Set in Victorian London, the beloved family classic follows a young girl who is left at boarding school while her father serves in the Second Boer War. When he is reported missing, she refuses to lose hope and embarks on a journey fueled by optimism, courage, and determination. The film is unrated and runs 1 hour, 33 minutes.
At 7 p.m. both nights, we shift gears with "The Graduate" (1967), one of the defining films of its era. Dustin Hoffman stars as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate struggling to find direction after returning home. Featuring memorable performances and the iconic music of Simon & Garfunkel, the film remains a thoughtful look at youth, adulthood, and the expectations placed on both. Rated PG, it runs 1 hour, 46 minutes.
The Coalition for Senior Citizens returns June 19 for its popular Third Friday Matinee. This month's feature is "Pride & Prejudice" (2005) at 1 p.m. The screening is open to moviegoers of all ages, and guests 60 and older will receive a free small popcorn and small drink. It is a wonderful opportunity to gather with friends, enjoy a classic story, and spend an afternoon at the movies.
We are also excited to partner once again with the De Golyer Bucking Horse and Bull Bash for a free screening of "City Slickers" (1991) at 6 p.m. June 25. Produced by Cody and Kristina de Golyer, the annual rodeo has become a favorite local tradition. Before rodeo weekend begins, community members are invited to enjoy a free evening at the theatre with Billy Crystal and friends as they trade city life for a western adventure. Any remaining rodeo tickets will be available for purchase in the theatre lobby before the movie. Cash only while supplies last.
Looking ahead, Ventura Highway: The Music of America comes to the Fallon Theatre on July 18 at 8 p.m. The concert celebrates the music of the band America and features many of the group's best-known hits. Tickets are $10.
As always, we are proud to serve as a gathering place for films, live entertainment, and community events. For information about renting the theatre for a private event or placing a message on the marquee, call 775-423-6210 or email [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you soon.
