The 7th Street Theatre’s 13th Annual “Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” Valentine’s event features the 1987 romantic comedy, “Moonstruck,” with Academy Award winning performances by Cher and Olympia Dukakis. It plays Friday and Saturday, February 17 and 18, at 7:30 p.m. on Grays Harbor’s biggest movie screen, in downtown Hoquiam’s historic, atmospheric theatre.
“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” is a dinner-and-movie promotion that also includes two local florists. When you buy dinner for two at any of the participating restaurants and pubs, or make a qualifying floral purchase, between Saturday, February 11 and Saturday February 18, you will receive two free tickets to the movie. Each participating restaurant and sponsor has 50 free movie tickets available through this promotion.
The participating restaurants and sponsors are: 8th Street Ale House, Al’s Humdinger , Cappy Rick’s Black Pearl Tavern, Casa Mia, Deidra’s Deli and Farmers’ Market, Foggy’s Bar and Grill, Golden Dragon, Grizzly Den, Rose’s Taqueria, Simply Said Flowers, Simpson Avenue Bar and Grill, and The Jitter House.
The Oscar-winning screenplay of “Moonstruck” follows the comedic complications of Cher’s 30-something Italian-American Brooklyn widow, who is reluctantly falling in love with the wild and crazy brother (Nicholas Cage) of her dull but safe fiancé. In the role of the mother of Cher’s character, Dukakis earned an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, after more than a quarter-century on stage and screen.
Doors open at 7:00 pm for the 7:30 pm showings.
