This has got to stop...

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of the legendary Tim Curry, who died peacefully on August 25 at age 80.

Curry was, and always will be, the definitive Dr. Frank-N-Furter. He originated the role on stage in 1973 before bringing the "sweet transvestite from Tr*******al, Transylvania" to life in the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was a performance that was fearless, funny, and fiercely original, one that gave generations of fans permission to "Don't dream it, be it."

His career spanned six decades. He was the quick-witted butler Wadsworth in Clue (1985), the chilling Pennywise the Clown in Stephen King's It (1990), and the sinister Lord of Darkness in Ridley Scott's Legend (1985). We will proudly screen Legend at the Eureka Theater this year as part of our 80's series when it returns this fall.

Curry also brought his signature charm to roles like Rooster in Annie (1982), Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island (1996), the suspicious concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), and the villainous Hexxus in FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992). He earned three Tony nominations for Amadeus, My Favorite Year, and Spamalot.

Tim Curry's legacy is one of freedom, fearlessness, and joy. He showed us it was okay to be different, to be bold, and to live out loud. As he once said, "Playing somebody like that wakes you up to new dimensions of human nature. I learned not to limit myself, artistically, professionally, sexually, or mentally."

We will miss him dearly, but his spirit will forever live on in the Time Warp and in every person who ever dared to "give themselves over to absolute pleasure."

In honor of Tim Curry and his legendary performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the Eureka Theater is proud to announce a special screening of Rocky Horror with a live shadow cast!

Save the date, warm up your vocal cords, and get ready to do the Time Warp again.

🎬 A Tribute to Dolly Parton – 9 to 5 at the Eureka Theater

We are heartbroken by the news that Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80. She was a true American icon whose music, laughter, and generosity touched millions of lives. Like so many of you, we have loved her for as long as we can remember.

In her honor, we are hosting a special screening of 9 to 5 on September 26 at the Eureka Theater. This is the 1980 comedy that introduced Dolly to movie audiences everywhere, starring alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.

The evening will start with a sing along of classic Dolly songs. Our song leader will be announced soon! Dolly costumes are encouraged for EVERYONE. Break out the wigs, the cowboy boots, and the big blonde hair.

This screening is a fundraiser for the Bridgeville Community Center, the local organization that runs Dolly's Imagination Library in Humboldt County. The program sends free books to kids from birth to age 5, with over 1,800 kids currently enrolled. Dolly believed every child deserves a book to call their own.

The Bridgeville Community Center will be tabling in the lobby to discuss the program. Stop by and say hello!
