ST. GEORGE — With cooler climes now firmly in place, the Electric Series — presented by the City of St. George Community Arts division — gets underway soon, bringing music, movies and more to the historic Electric Theater in downtown St. George. Free live concerts are slated from November through February, while movie screenings will run from November through April, for the bargain price of $5 per ticket.
“Now that winter’s almost here, we’re delighted to present our schedule of concerts and film screenings at the Electric Theater,” said Peyton Lee, City of St. George Community Arts Manager. “We have an outstanding collection of movies on tap, as well as some of the best musical acts from across the Southwest. The events will be fun and exciting; come early to get your seat!”
Concerts at the Electric kicks off Monday, November 9 at 7 p.m., with a performance by The Bombshell Flowers. An alternative rock trio from Utah, the Flowers blend surf shimmer, indie grit, pop hooks, and tight three-part harmonies into a sound that consistently surprises
audiences. Future Concerts at The Electric will feature a range of musical styles, from funk, punk and reggae to bluegrass and four-part barbershop harmonies.
Also on the docket are Movies at the Electric, beginning with a November 11 screening of the inspiring drama, “Megan Leavey.” Based on a true story, the film follows a young Marine corporal who forms an unbreakable bond with Rex, a military working dog. Together, they serve in Iraq, saving lives on dangerous missions and facing challenges that test their courage, loyalty, and determination. To mark the launch of the winter film series, free mini-cheesecakes will be distributed to the first 100 attendees of the film. In subsequent months, Movies at the Electric audiences can expect to see screenings of such iconic films as “Back to the Future,” “Fifty First Dates” and “Legally Blonde,” with other special promotions to be announced.
Presented by the City of St. George, the Concerts at the Electric will take place the second Monday of each month, while Movies at the Electric will screen on the second Wednesday. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; guests are encouraged to arrive in time to secure seating for the 7 p.m. performances.
