Center’s Free Movie Mondays are Back – Bigger and Better Than Ever

2010 summer movie line-up includes five films:

  • The Wizard of Oz – July 12
  • Some Like it Hot – July 19
  • Oliver! – July 26 with media sponsor KCRW
  • Dirty Dancing – August 2
  • Mad Hot Ballroom – August 9

The Orange County Performing Arts Center’s Free for All series continues this summer with the enormously popular and eagerly awaited return of free Movie Mondays on the community plaza. This year’s line-up will be the biggest and best ever with five great movies: the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland; the screwball comedy Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon; the Dickensian musical Oliver! being presented in partnership with public radio station KCRW-Santa Monica (89.9 FM and www.KCRW.com); the coming-of-age story Dirty Dancing featuring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze; and the inspiring documentary about New York City school students learning to dance in Mad Hot Ballroom, which was chosen in an audience poll last summer. The Center has always been “the place” in Orange County to experience Broadway’s best and brightest, and Movie Mondays offers audiences the most fun and exciting musical and dance films under the stars and all for free.
