This special event, organized by local chapters of the Sons of the Desert, the international Laurel and Hardy appreciation society, promises a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of comedy.
Relive the Golden Age of Comedy:
The program starts at 1:30 pm and features four remastered Three Stooges shorts, including timeless classics like "Hoi Polloi" and "Three Little Pigskins." The main event will be the iconic Laurel and Hardy film, "Way Out West," widely considered to be their funniest work.
"Most young people today have never experienced these classic comedies," explains Elaine Madden, Grand Sheik of the Two Tars tent. "They truly find them hilarious. And their parents probably haven't seen them on the big screen, which is how they were meant to be enjoyed."
A Unique Opportunity:
The Colonial Theater, built in 1903, provides a beautiful and fitting backdrop for these timeless films. Its historic charm and grand architecture will transport you back to the era when these comedy legends graced the silver screen.
