Celebrate the Tower Theater’s 72^nd birthday tonight with a showing of the Marx Brothers classic, A Night at the Opera. 

The Tower will be honoring 1940’s pricing so you can see the flick for only 25 cents! A freaking quarter! Why not get down there!?

Get a dose of good old fashioned slapstick from the men who pioneered it: Chico, Harpo and Groucho.

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana, you will like this movie. 

Above is a photo of the theater in the 1940’s…looks like they had some good snow that year, jealous. 

25¢, 7pm, Tower Theater 835 NW Wall Street
