The kind of epic movie adventure that begs to be seen on a theater-sized screen, “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” is the next big-screen offering at the historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam.
Academy Award winner in 1985 for Best Visual Effects, this second of four entries in the ‘Indy’ series is set in 1935, and positioned as a prequel to the original blockbuster hit, 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” In ‘Temple,’ Harrison Ford is teamed with Kate Capshaw, who has also been known as Mrs. Steven Spielberg since 1991.
The film is loaded with narrow escapes and huge action pieces, including the now-famous sequence of the wild mine-car chase, as well as some not-for-the-squeamish images involving human sacrifice.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at www.brownpapertickets.com.

It’s hard to pick a starting point with the movie magic that unfolds in “Across the Universe,” the next big-screen offering at the historic 7th Street Theatre.
The 2007 movie uses 32 songs from The Beatles, woven together to tell a love story set against the turbulent backdrop of the ‘60s sociocultural revolution and the Vietnam War. It offers a sometimes kaleidoscopic, whirlwind remembrance of many iconic aspects of the era, viewed through a theatrical lens that can be at times funny, sad, whimsical, gritty, exhilarating, and even epic.
The rich and wildly imaginative visuals throughout the film come via director Julie Taymor, who won a pair of Broadway’s Tony Awards in 1998 for directing and costuming the smash hit stage musical version of Disney’s “The Lion King.”
Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess head an appealing young cast, and the film is studded with cameos including Joe Cocker and Bono. All of the actors do their own singing and, following extensive studio rehearsals, most of the songs were performed live on the various film sets.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at online at brownpapertickets.com.
Free film series highlighting popular music genres from the 20th century. Bring your lunch. This session covers Country and Bluegrass music and features the film “High Lonesome: The Story of Bluegrass Music.” Refreshments provided by the Friends of the McCleary Library.

With the energy of street singing and the elegance of a string quartet, moira smiley & VOCO offer a blend of voices, redefining harmony singing with the power and physicality of folksong. Accompanied by cello, banjo, ukulele, accordion and body percussion, expect magnificent, compelling and hair-raising music that mourns and dances at the same time.

Each spring, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed in Grays Harbor estuary on their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world’s greatest migrants. Some birds travel over 15,000 miles round trip! Tens of thousands of shorebirds feed on the open mudflats in the estuary. This concentration of birds offers people a great chance to view a number of shorebird species, and with luck, to see the birds fly together in beautiful formations while trying to escape the fastest creature on earth, the Peregrine Falcon.
