Les Miserables, the longest running musical in the world, comes to the Bishop Center stage for 7 performances. Set in early 19th-century France, it is the story of Jean Valjean, a burly French peasant and his quest for redemption after serving 19 years in jail. Valjean and others portrayed by the talented local cast give a strong and powerful performance as they are swept into the French revolutionary period, with young idealists making their dramatic last stand at a street barricade.

Wayne, O’Hara & Irish countryside star in John Ford’s The Quiet Man, at 7th Street Theatre March 8-9
Director John Ford won his record fourth Best Director Oscar for the 1952 classic, “The Quiet Man,” the next offering of the Silver Screen Classics Film Series. The movie will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:00 p.m. Sunday, March 8 and 9, at the historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam.
John Wayne had one of the most unusual roles of his career as “The Quiet Man,” troubled American boxer Sean Thornton, who retires to the Irish village of his birth, where he finds a new life and love. Real Irish actress Maureen O’Hara plays the redhead with a temper to match.
Director Ford first acquired the rights to “The Quiet Man” in 1936, but it would be another 15 years before his dream of adapting the story to film would become a reality. Studios repeatedly turned down the project, and it ultimately took a deal with Wayne, O’Hara and Ford agreeing to make “Rio Grande” in 1950 for “The Quiet Man” to be filmed the next year.
At 7th Street Theatre, located at 313 7th Street in downtown Hoquiam, doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. Saturday showing and 1:30 pm for the 2:00 p.m. Sunday showing. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.
