The movie that spawned the Hollywood “Brat Pack,” the teen angst comedy-drama “The Breakfast Club,” is the next big screen offering at the historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam.
A New York Magazine cover story in 1985 used the term “Brat Pack” to describe the five stars of John Hughes’ hit film: Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Michael Anthony Hall, Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson. Other young stars also became known as Brat Pack members, including Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy and Demi Moore.
In “The Breakfast Club,” the five high school students from different crowds in school (a nerd, a jock, a prom queen, a delinquent, and a loner) are thrown together for a Saturday detention in their school library. As the day progresses, each member tells the story of why they are in detention, and by day’s end they realize they have more in common than they ever imagined.
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.

Vincent Price delivers suspense and horror at the House of Wax, at 7Street Theatre October 4-5.
The first use of 3D technology in a major Hollywood movie was the gimmick that made the 1953 film, House of Wax, a huge box office hit.
The suspense/horror film is the next offering of the Silver Screen Classics Film Series.
Compared with current 3D movies, “House of Wax” is pretty passé, mostly two-dimensional with most of its 3D shots gimmicks such as a ping pong ball seemingly leaping off the screen into viewers’ laps. The movie will not be shown in 3D at 7th Street Theatre.
Top-billed Vincent Price was an established minor role actor when House of Wax pushed his career into a new direction – gothic horror movies such as House of Usher and The Pit and the Pendulum. Here, Price plays a gifted but ultimately demented wax sculptor, seemingly come back from the dead to wreak vengeance on his murderous business partner.
Tickets are available at the door, online at brownpapertickets.com, and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.
Westport Winery will host the annual Crush Me, Squeeze Me, Make Me Wine at the Beach Festival. The winery will provide bins of grapes for guests of all ages to stomp into purple-footed bliss with winemaker Dana Roberts at the production cellar. The annual Lucy and Ethyl Look-A-Like Contest will be held at 3:00 p.m. in the tasting room. All ages are encouraged to enter.
