Movie Night at the Opera House: "Rebel Without a Cause"

“Movie Night at the Opera House” will continue on Sunday, April 17, 2016, with the showing of the classic Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean and Natalie Wood.


 
The event will begin at 7:30 P.M. and is hosted by the Granbury Theatre Company, which manages the historic Granbury Opera House in Downtown Granbury.
 
Nominated for several Academy Awards, the 1955 film directed by Nicholas Ray focuses on a rebellious young man with a troubled past who comes to a new town, finding friends and enemies.  Dean plays Jim Stark in the title role but tragically died in an automobile accident a month before the movie’s release.  The iconic actor only made three films during his short life.
 
The Warner Bros. motion picture – which also features Sal Mineo, Jim Backus, and William Hopper – was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. 
 
Tickets are $8 and are available on the GTC website at www.granburytheatrecompany.org or by calling the GTC box office at (817) 579-0952.  Concessions will also be available.
