“The Music Man” @ 7th Street Theatre
May 9 @ 7:30 pm
"The Music Man" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Despite being overlooked by the Oscars, Preston was hugely popular as con man “Professor Harold Hill,” who finds himself ultimately unable to con the power of true love. She appears in the form of “Marian the Librarian,” played by Shirley Jones, winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar just a year earlier for “Elmer Gantry.” Also notable in the cast is a very young Ron Howard. And with funny-man Buddy Hackett on board as the Professor’s sidekick, the film offers more light comedy that the stage original.

Based on the long-running Broadway musical by Meredith Wilson, the film version is freed from the stage and uses eight different Warner Brothers studio locations to create “River City, Iowa.” The movie is a terrific example of Hollywood’s golden era of musicals, with vibrant color saturating the screen.

Advance tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.

“The Last Five Years” @ The Bishop Center for the Performing Arts
May 23 @ 7:30 pm
"The Last Five Years" @ The Bishop Center for the Performing Arts | Westport | Washington | United States

Etherian Theatre Company presents “The Last Five Years” as their first production. All profits from the show will be donated to The Uncle Craig Foundation to support people affected by the flooding and landslides in Grays Harbor County earlier this year.

Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk winner, The Last Five Years, has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of Time Magazine’s 10 best shows of 2001. A testament to the show’s longevity and spurred by the show’s regional popularity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013. A film adaptation is being released in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

This show has adult themes and language, and is intended for mature audience.

Tickets are available online and at the door.

“The Goonies” @ 7th Street Theatre
May 29 @ 7:30 pm
"The Goonies" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

“The Goonies” is based on a Spielberg short story, and offers his wild action sequences and fast pacing, made memorable by the enthusiastic and energetic performances of the young cast that populates this adventure. It’s a fantastical take on a traditional tale of buried pirate treasure, told with a slice-of-life approach that has these kids using real-life teenage dialogue, something still not heard much in films back in 1985.

The cast includes some young actors who would later grow into sizeable roles: Sean Astin, who later played Samwise Gamgee in the “Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy, Josh Brolin, whose dozens of credits include President George W. Bush in “W,” and Martha Plimpton, who has starred in TV’s “Raising Hope” since 2010. Several familiar characters round out the cast: heavies Robert Davi and Joe Pantoliano, pro footballer John Matuszak and Anne Ramsey, famous for “Throw Mama From the Train.” Most of the film was shot in Astoria, OR, and nearby Cannon Beach.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show.

Advance tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.
