Spielberg’s friendly aliens deliver Close Encounters at 7th Street Theatre Sept. 21-22

As researchers discover and decipher phenomena that suggest an alien visitation to Earth may be imminent, ordinary family guy Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) and a few fellow Hoosiers have their own UFO experiences. Roy and a single mom (Melinda Dillon) whose son has been seemingly snatched by spacemen, are left with subconscious suggestions that drive them toward their own “close encounters” in director Spielberg’s 1977 sci-fi adventure, the first of his two films featuring friendly extraterrestrials, like E.T.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. The theatre is located at 313 7th Street in downtown Hoquiam. Tickets are $6 and will be available at the door.
