Round 2!!

On July 13th the forecast for Salt Lake City said 30% of rain. With rain on the mind, we went forward with Movie Under the Stars. As rain clouds came we hung tight, covering our equipment to wait out the storm. We soon called Kevin Eubank to get his take on the weather and were given to “green light” to show the movie.  Due to rain however, our performer Beau Stephenson, was unable to preform. As a result of this we have brought him back to preform this Friday!!

Beau is from Southeastern Washington and grew up with a bug to play. Taking chances along the way to perform in choirs, plays, and in various musical groups, it allowed Beau to grow as a performer and musician. Having battled a series of lung setbacks, Beau is healthy and happily married and singing hard. Keeping a sense of humor and a bright disposition on the forefront, his music is about life, love, and laughter. Beau has also competed on  American Idol. Last year he competed in an Official American Idol Competition in Florida and was runner up singing “Ain’t No Sunshine”.

This Friday’s movie tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas  and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris . In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.

All musical performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. Then at dusk, we will begin our featured film.  FREE popcorn has been provided by Harmons Grocery and is available while supplies last.  Come and enjoy the magic of Movie Under the Stars!!

Wayward Molly and The Muppets

This Friday we are excited for Wayward Molly to open for our featured film, The Muppets! When 3 Muppet fans learn that Tex Richman wants to drill under the Muppet Theater for oil, Gary, Mary and Walter set out to find the Muppets who have been split up for years so that they can put on one last show and save the Muppet Theater.

Wayward Molly is Jani Gamble, Allison Ottley, Nicki Singleton and Mona Stevens. The three vocalists were thrown together for a one time performance in 2009, and although they come from varied musical backgrounds, they blended so well and had such a blast that they decided to give it another go.  Their sound is based on tight three part harmony enhanced by varied instrumental acoustic accompaniment, drawing on an eclectic mix of folk, Celtic, and whatever else they feel like.  Wayward Molly had their "coming out" concert in March 2012 to a packed house and two standing ovations while raising funds for the American Cancer Society and recently performed at the Ogden Music Festival in June.Wayward Molly-PROMO

The Princess Bride is a wonderful story. A kindly grandfather sits down with his ill grandson and reads him a story. The story is one that has been passed down from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against her will in order to start a war, It is up to Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become Westley's companions in his quest.

All musical performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. Then at dusk, we will begin our featured film.  FREE popcorn has been provided by Harmons Grocery and is available while supplies last.  Come and enjoy the magic of Movie Under the Stars!!
