We're moving...well, the date is changing...


NEW DATE TBA:

The 7th annual Silent Movie Night is moving to a different Friday night in 2013.

Due to an unexpected conflict our traditional date won't do this year.

The day will change, but our program is going to be the same: wonderful silent films, live musical accompaniment, free to the public, free refreshments, starting time at 7 p.m.

Stay tuned for an update on our day for Winter/Spring 2013, as well as, more information about our upcoming program.

Plans begin for 2013!

We are already entering the preliminary planning stages for next year's program (2013) of free silent films and live musical accompaniment.

If you have a suggestion of a film or films you'd like us to screen, a general request to make, a musical suggestion, or ideas that can help us improve our program please send us a comment here!

We appreciate any suggestion from our past patrons and our potential future ones.

Currently we are leaning toward a program of four to five short comedy films, most with orchestral accompaniment.

Your ideas are welcome.

A big thank you to Rex Rutkoski

There a large number of thank you's to go around, but a very special thank you to the Trib reporter Rex Rutkoski.

Rex spent many days asking thoughtful questions and crafting an outstanding article about our program of silent film and took the time to interview several of the people who make this evening possible.

His wonderful entertainment section article was superb and had amazing visuals especially in the print edition.  This article and it's excellent placement was a huge help in drawing such a diverse and apperciative audience.  If you've not seen the article or photo's please visit the link below.

And thanks again Rex!
