New Everett Theater, Everett

It is so beautiful. Seems to be hidden in Everett and you need to find it right away! We just watched two silent movies accompanied by live organ music on stage where you can see and hear the organist play!!! Both movies were early Buster Keaton. The Great Train Robbery which is a loose script on a true Civli War event and Steamboat Bill no doubt from whence Steamboat Willie was born (Mickey Mouse!). They were both great! I'm sure there were over 100 people attendance and we all were laughing and cheering! There is a concession with popcorn, etc. When there are other events there is often beer and wine available. There are often local talent Hootenannys, movies and bands. Recently 'It's a Wonderful Life' was shown along with a visit by ZuZu herself! We got to see the movie on the big screen and she had asked how many had seen it like that and I think there was only one person. They hope to do this again next year for Christmas! Call and tell them to do this!!! Gone with the Wind was recently shown as well as Goonies to celebrate the past 25th anniversary. Some local first run movies have been presented here. I'm told the theater is available for rent for special events as well. There are a number of pictures of the theater in the lobbies from the past when those such as Nat Cole (wasn't King yet in 1937!) played the theater. Teddy Roosevelt had even been there! The staff and volunteers were great and helpful. They have a website and a link to the history of the 125 year old theater with pictures. Check it out and get there soon!
