Movie: ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ @ 7th Street Theatre
Apr 8 @ 7:30 pm
Movie: 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Thanks to television syndication, the Public Broadcasting System, movies and even a hit Broadway musical, the groundbreaking British comedy troupe, Monty Python, is known to almost every man, woman and child in the USA. At 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 8 and 9, their classic big screen debut will be shown on the biggest screen in Grays Harbor, as “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” comes to Hoquiam’s historic 7th Street Theatre.

The 1975 film has achieved true cult status and has been variously described as hilarious, wildly original and one of the most inspired pieces of celluloid silliness among cinematic classics. It is basically a parody of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, viewed through the weirdly, wonderfully warped lens of the comedic legends who made up Monty Python.

The movie stars the entire Month Python troupe. Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam play multiple roles, with all five sharing the screenwriting credits. Jones and Gilliam served as co-directors. The film is a crazy quilt of trademark Python sketch humor, endlessly recurring inside jokes, and the surreal humor that made Monty Python a worldwide comedic phenomenon. Because it is set in the British Middle Ages, it remains as fresh and timeless today as when it was originally produced, more than 40 years ago. It true Python style, it takes its painfully low budget and turns what would normally be seen as a severe shortcoming into one of the film’s funniest ongoing routines.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen, and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.

A series of free entrepreneurship workshops kick-off this March throughout Southwestern Washington to bring education to people who are interested in starting their own businesses but may be unaware of the many free resources available to them in their local area.

Your Business – Start Smart is the result of a partnership between the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Seattle District Office and the Timberland Regional Library System (TRL).

The program pulls together resources from the SBA, its resource partners, and TRL to provide a two-hour seminar covering the following five topics:

  • Characteristics and motivations of entrepreneurs
  • Initial considerations, steps and planning
  • Financing options
  • Market research tools
  • Local resources

In addition to the initial Start Smart class, the program will deliver workshops focused on franchising and online retailing; with plans to add more classes in the future. The classes are free, but registration is required.

Film: “This Changes Everything” @ 7th Street Theatre
Apr 26 @ 7:00 pm
Film: "This Changes Everything" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Free admission, donations to cover screening costs and expenses kindly accepted.
Join us to watch this timely movie about the most important issue of our times: climate change.

The film “This Changes Everything” is an epic attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change. Inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction bestseller of the same name, the film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better. This event is in support of a positive outcome from the work done at COP21, and bringing meaningful awareness to what we can all do now to build a carbon-free future for ourselves and our children.

Grays Harbor Shorebird and Nature Festival @ Hoquiam
May 6 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
Grays Harbor Shorebird and Nature Festival @ Hoquiam | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Each spring, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed in Grays Harbor estuary on their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world’s greatest migrants. Some birds travel more than 15,000 miles round trip! Tens of thousands of shorebirds feed on the open mudflats in the estuary. This concentration of birds offers people a great chance to view a number of shorebird species, and with luck, to see the birds fly together in beautiful formation while trying to escape the fastest creature on earth, the Peregrine Falcon.
