Classic Film Series: Jaws @ 7th Street Theater
May 16 @ 7:30 pm
Classic Film Series: Jaws @ 7th Street Theater | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Director Steven Spielberg had a total of less than a dozen hours of television and one feature film under his belt in 1974 when he took on a project that would dramatically change his life and seriously scare millions. “Jaws” became the top grossing movie of 1975, won three Academy Awards and sent Spielberg’s career skyrocketing. The film will screen at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 16 and 17 at Grays Harbor’s historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam.

Based on the novel by Peter Benchley, “Jaws” is the tale of a huge great white shark that begins feeding on swimmers, and the efforts of an unlikely trio to battle the beast. The Oscar-winning theme music by John Williams remains instantly recognizable nearly 40 years after it was first heard. The line of dialogue that became part of the pop culture idiom was actually ad-libbed by star Roy Schieder,  “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Sharkey’s of Ocean Shores has teamed with the 7th Street Theatre to offer a variety of “Jaws” and shark-themed merchandise, and 10% of sales will go to the theatre. There will also be a person in a shark costume available for fun photos.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets are available at the door, or in advance from Brown Paper Tickets and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.

 

The Glass Menagerie @ Driftwood Theater
May 16 @ 7:30 pm

The Driftwood Players will enact “The Glass Menagerie,” written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Debbie Scoones. The drama is in two acts and is appropriate for all ages.

The mother is a faded tragic remnant of Southern gentility, striving to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her grown children.  Her methods are ineffective and irritating, causing problems in the household.  The world of illusion that she has striven to create in order to make life bearable collapses about them after a gentleman caller pays a visit.

Tickets can be purchased in advance online, at the door if available, and at the following locations:

Valu-Drug in Montesano

Top Foods and City Center Drug in Aberdeen

Harbor Drug in Hoquiam

Dolores’ and Fay’s in Ocean Shores
