The Rock community radio hosts fundraiser at Bay Theater featuring classic Beatles film, ’60s costume contest, and local brews
Local community radio station 93.7 FM The Rock will take you back to the 1960s and the height of “Beatlemania,” with a special fundraiser screening of the Beatles’ “A Hard Days Night,” at Morro Bay’s iconic Bay Theater.
The film is set to show at 6 p.m. Monday, July 21, at The Bay Theater, 464 Morro Bay Blvd. Doors open at 5.
Tickets are $15 a person and available online at TheRockCommunityRadio.org, my805tix.com, or at the door. Seating is limited, and early purchase is encouraged.
All proceeds benefit the nonprofit, non-commercial, all-volunteer, public radio station, 97.3 FM in the Estero Bay Area and 107.9 FM in Paso Robles.
Regarded as one of the greatest and most influential musical films of all time, Director Richard Lester captured The Beatles at the height of “Beatlemania” and follows John, Paul, George, and Ringo through a fictionalized day in their lives.
The film is filled with humor, charm, and timeless songs like the title cut, “And I Love Her,” “I Should Have Known Better,” and more.
This is a rare chance to see the beloved classic on the big screen and promises to be a night of nostalgic entertainment for fans of all ages.
“We are incredibly excited to bring this cinematic masterpiece back to the big screen for such a worthy cause,” said The Rock founder Hal Abrams. “The Beatles’ music transcends generations, and this film is a joyous celebration of their impact. We believe it’s the perfect way to bring the community together while supporting The Rock.”
In addition to the film, there will be a costume contest for the best ’60s attire, a raffle, beer from Firestone Walker, and locally produced wine available for purchase.
This is The Rock’s latest in a series of fun evenings watching some classic movies. Past films have included “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “The Big Lebowski,” and “Pulp Fiction.”
The fundraising events help support freeform radio on the Central Coast.
