Fallon Theatre feels a need for speed

A big thank you to all our sustaining members, sponsors and volunteers — we couldn't do it without you.

Two great movies for you this weekend and they are free. Playing this Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m. each evening is the 2013 animated adventure comedy “Turbo.” Turbo is a speed-obsessed snail with an unusual dream: to become the world's greatest racer.

This odd snail gets a chance to leave his slow-paced life behind when a freak accident gives him the power of superspeed. Newly revved-up, Turbo embarks on an extraordinary quest to enter and win the Indianapolis 500. Accompanied by a dedicated pit crew of trash-talking adrenaline junkies, Turbo becomes the ultimate underdog by refusing to let his limitations get in the way of his dreams.

Voices provided by Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Snoop Dog and Maya Rudolph.

Our second feature each evening, starting at 7 p.m. is the 2003 action crime thriller “2 Fast 2 Furious!” This sequel focuses on ex-police officer Brian O'Conner who relocates from Los Angeles to Miami to start over.

Becoming involved in the street-racing scene in his new city, Brian befriends car-savvy Tej and Suki, but his competitive streak ends when federal agents apprehend him and he must enter into a deal with the FBI. Working with new partner Roman Pearce, Brian begins a dangerous mission to take down a powerful drug dealer. Starring Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Devon Aoki and Cole Hauser.

Mark your calendar this April for some great special events. On April 6 at 7 p.m. we have great family stand-up comedy when Lee Hardin takes our historic stage. Don't miss this night of fun and laughter.

Tickets are only $20 and can be purchased at the door or in advance at our Facebook site The Fallon Theatre. Then join us April 13 for Heritage of the West — a day of histories, poetry, music and stories. Starts at noon and admission is free. Featuring Native American dancers, cowboy poetry, Chautauqua, western songs, Mexicana dance group, old classic country songs and much more.

Looking forward to seeing you at the movies - and all our special events.
