Movie house ‘springs into culture’
Building on the success of
such previous engagements
as “The Nutcracker” and “Il
Trovatore,” Central Oregon’s
premiere destination movie
theater, Sisters Movie House,
has launched its “Spring Into
Culture” series.
Every first and third
Tuesday night during the
months of March, April and
May, Sisters Movie House
will showcase a different art
form as part of the series. The
series continues with ballet
on Tuesday, March 21 with
“Sleeping Beauty,” and then
moves into unique art exhibi-
tion territory with “I, Claude
Monet” on April 4.
Completing the series in
later April and May, Richard
Armitage stars in the Arthur
Miller classic “The Crucible,”
captured live in a performance
from London’s renowned Old
Vic Theatre on Tuesday, April
18, followed by more opera
with “Madame Butterfly”
from the Royal Opera House
on Tuesday, May 2. Last but
not least, another art exhi-
bition, this one called “The
Artist’s Garden” and focused
on American impression-
ism, rounds out the series on
Tuesday, May 16.
“We are thrilled to bring
the breadth and depth of some
amazing global culture exclu-
sively to Sisters Movie House
here in Central Oregon,” said
