BELLOWS FALLS — Beginning on March 14, the Bellows Falls Opera House Cinema will show movies as part of its new Classic Film Series every Wednesday at 7 p.m.
The theme for March is “A Feast for the Eyes.” Films scheduled are Gone With The Wind (March 14), The Wizard of Oz (March 21), and The African Queen (March 28).
April's theme will be “Classic Black-and-White Dramas,” and May's will be “Great Musicals.”
Municipal Manager Tim Cullenen said that the theater, located in the restored Rockingham Town Hall at 7 The Square, will let people “see such classics as The Wizard of Oz or The Sound of Music on a large screen for the first time in their lives.”
“We also see this as a great way to utilize the Opera House on what has traditionally been a dark night and to bring more people into downtown Bellows Falls,” he said, calling it “an absolute joy to see these films in such a historic setting on such a large screen.”
The series is underwritten in part with a donation from the Together We Can charity.
Admission is $4 for adults and $2.50 for students and seniors over age 65.
The regular schedule of current films will remain in effect as well as the newly offered Friday and Saturday 3 p.m. matinees.
Movie goers are encouraged to contact the cinema box office (802-463-4766) for show times.
