11th Annual Valentine’s Movie: “When Harry Met Sally” @ 7th Street Theatre
Feb 13 @ 7:30 pm
11th Annual Valentine's Movie: "When Harry Met Sally" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

The 7th Street Theatre’s 11th Annual “Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” Valentine’s event features the 1989 hit romantic comedy, “When Harry Met Sally,” starring Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher.

“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” is a dinner-and-movie promotion that has grown to include additional sponsors. When you buy dinner for two at any of the participating restaurants and pubs, or make a qualifying purchase at any other sponsor, from February 6 through 14, you will receive two free tickets to the movie. Each participating restaurant and sponsor has 50 free movie tickets available through this promotion.

The annual promotion started in 2005, when the 7th Street Theatre was in its second season of showing films. Volunteer Betsy Seidel suggested the idea that would help the theatre and would also help Hoquiam’s restaurants and flower shop. It has become one of the biggest film weekends of the year at the 86-year-old theater.

The participating restaurants and sponsors this year are: 8th Street Ale House, Al’s Humdinger, The Breakroom Bar and Grill, Casa Mia, Deidra’s Deli at Farmers’ Market, Foggy’s Bar and Grill, Golden Dragon, Grizzly Den, Passport Café, Rose’s Tienda and Taqueria, Sasquatch Pizza and Wings, Simpson Avenue Bar and Grill, Taqueria Franco, Trio’s Bar and Grill, Tully’s, Welcome Inn Bar and Grill and Simply Said Flowers.

“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” has grown each year, with this year’s list of sponsors highlighting 16 restaurants and one flower shop! Ginger Akers, 7th Street Theatre board member, suggested having a live auction of the two beautiful bouquets donated by the florist. This will take place before the film each night.

“When Harry Met Sally,” written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, takes a comic look at whether men and women can have meaningful friendships without sex becoming involved. The movie is famous for the scene in which a restaurant patron tells a waiter, “I’ll have what she’s having.”

Tickets are available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug, Books on 7th and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.

“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” @ 7th Street Theatre
Mar 7 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Dick Van Dyke drives Chitty Chitty Bang Bang family fantasy flick to 7th Street Theatre.

A unique family-fantasy-adventure-musical-special effects-comedy movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is the next film showing at the Silver Screen Classics Film Series.

The physical comedy talents of Dick Van Dyke, one of television’s most popular entertainers in the ‘60s and winner of three Emmy Awards, is on exuberant and constant display throughout this energetic film. He also sings and dances in the role of an eccentric inventor who creates a flying car that can and does drive itself and his family into some wild adventures.

In addition to Van Dyke’s talents, the film employs a lot of big special effects which may seem dated by today’s computer-generated standards, but thrilled audiences young and old more than 45 years ago.

The 1968 production also boasts an amazing writing pedigree: it is loosely based on a series of children’s books by James Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming. And the screenplay is the work of Roald Dahl, who created Willy Wonka and a large body of beloved children’s literature.

Tickets are $5 and available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
