There are not enough words to properly thank Happy Harry's employees and the Gershman Family for the 25 years of golf tournaments which have helped keep the marquee shining on the Empire Arts Center. Today's charity event has become a local favorite, filling its registration spots quickly and raising more than $687,000 in support of the Empire Arts Center. Alas, this is the final year for the tournament. Thank you to all the golfers, donors, volunteers and, of course, Happy Harrys for 25 years. The Empire shines brighter on Demers Avenue because of you. Have a great day today on the course! Fore!

We are so excited to add these film adaptations to the season line-up. Read the book, see the film, watch the play. Stick around after each screening to discuss the choices writers and directors made in adapting the book to the screen! Then plan to attend the live performance to see how the writers/composers adapted the books for the stage. Thank you A Johnston Therapy for making this film series possible!

From Page to Stage to Screen!

In collaboration with Empire Theatre Company's season 15, we are proud to screen Wizard of Oz(1939), Misery(1990), The Muppet Christmas Carol(1998), and Pride and Prejudice(2005).

See the movie, based off the book, then go watch the play!

Our Page to Stage to Screen film series is made possible by our sponsor, A Johnston Therapy.
