Summer Movies @ The Tower
SUMMER IS MOVIE TIME AT THE TOWER!
With Bill Murray and Benjamin Franklin, family-friendly films
Movies to benefit local nonprofits
This summer, bring the kids and family to experience “movie night” at the historic Tower Theatre in downtown Bend. As part of its continuing collaboration with area nonprofits, the Tower will screen four films to help support several local causes and organizations.
Friday, June 11, Camp Fire USA kicks off the summer with a double-feature of camping classics – “Parent Trap” (1998; rated PG) and “Meatballs” (1979; rated PG). Proceeds benefit Camp Fire’s youth and family outdoor programs in Central Oregon.
On Saturday, July 3, Bend’s Independence Day celebrations begin with a performance by the Cascade Horizon Band, a reading of the Declaration of Independence by local civic leaders and media personalities, and an exclusive showing of the musical “1776” (1972; rated G). Sponsored in part by Deschutes Country, this patriotic evening salutes our founding fathers and highlights many of the nonprofit groups who assist and support today’s military veterans.
Saturday night, August 21, the hole-in-one comedy classic “Caddyshack” (1980; rated R) tees off as Jeld-Wen Tradition Week concludes in Central Oregon. It’s the snobs (Chevy Chase) against the slobs (Bill Murray). Proceeds benefit the Tower Theatre Foundation.
The Tower Theatre Foundation owns and operates the historic venue in downtown Bend. The Foundation’s mission is to provide performing arts, civic, educational and social events that enliven and enrich the lives of all Central Oregonians. Program information, group discounts, gift cards and individual tickets are available at the Tower Theatre box office, or at www.towertheatre.org.
