On January 4, The Rockwell will kick off 2017 with a new installment of HUSH, their monthly silent film series that celebrates the bygone era of a simpler world while incorporating live music in collaboration with film expert Erica Baptiste and musicians Noxaphonic. The Rockwell’s next showcase will be “The Freshman” (1925, starring Harold Lloyd), a hugely popular comedic film at the time of its release.
“The Freshman” is a timeless tale of a young man in his first year of college as he strives for popularity and relentlessly attempts to gain the acceptance and approval of his peers. Originally grossing nearly $3 million, “The Freshman” was the highest grossing full length comedy produced by The Harold Lloyd Film Corporation sparking a trend of college-themed films that lasted throughout the decade and beyond.
The film runs 76 minutes in total and is unrated, though those underage must be accompanied by an adult. Show-goers also are invited to make it a true “Dinner & a Movie” experience by receiving 10% off their food purchases before or after the show at The Rockwell’s sister venues, Foundry on Elm and Saloon, that are housed under the same roof.
General Admission: $15 per adult (service fee not included)
Students and Senior Citizens: $13 per person (ID required; service fee not included)
