Join us on Saturday, March 4 from 2-4 pm in the Matthews Theater for a special screening of the classic film, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.
The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad is the 1958 adventure story of Sinbad and his dangerous journey to break the spell cast over his beloved princess. Featuring the stop-motion artistry of Ray Harryhausen, fans of the film will recall thrilling scenes such as the Cyclops…
On the way to their wedding, Sinbad and his fiancé Princess Parisa, come across the island of Colossa with their crew. While on Colossa, they encounter a magician who owns a magic lamp, but he loses it while escaping a Cyclops.
The magician is desperate to get it back, and when Sinbad refuses to help, the magician concocts a potion to shrink Princess Parisa to the size of a mouse.
With the only known antidote being on Colossa, Sinbad has no choice but to go back in order to save his fiancé.
