The Fallon Theatre

A schedule of classic films for the year has been proposed by the FCT Classic Film Committee.  They will soon approach individuals and businesses about sponsoring the films for the upcoming year.    We had hoped to arrange a good Irish film for St. Patrick’s Day, but the one we wanted (Waking Ned Devine) is not available for licensing.  So, we will not have a St. Patty’s Day film this year.

We will post our season and our sponsors as the films and sponsors are confirmed.

If you have a film that you would like to sponsor contact us at thefallontheatre@gmail.com.

Board of Directors invited the public to join them for a special showing of the Christmas Eve favorite THE POLAR EXPRESS on Tuesday, Dec. 20.   Refreshments were provided by board members and many parents and children / grandparents and grandchildren enjoyed the special evening together.

When Sal and Jenny inherit an old theatre from their great uncle it’s like their dreams are coming true. But first they must deal with the real estate agents that want to scare the young couple into believing the old theatre is haunted.   Such is the story of the short one-act play “Ghost Light” presented on December 14th at the downtown Fallon Theatre.  “We chose the play because the number of characters in the play matched the number of students in the class.  In addition to that, the plot is similar to the situation I am involved with with the downtown Fallon Theatre Project”  stated director Glen Perazzo.  “The community now has a home base for community theatre groups.”

The play was well received by family and friends.

The Fallon Theatre opened its doors for the public to witness the 2016 election returns as they came in on Tuesday, November 8th.  The results were bigger than life on the large screen at the Fallon Theatre.
