Synopsis

Experience Buster Keaton at his very best in The General! Packed with breathtaking stunts, ingenious gags, and non-stop action, this Civil War-era adventure follows a determined railroad engineer who will stop at nothing to recover his beloved locomotive and win back the girl he loves.

Join us for this thrilling cinematic ride featuring live organ accompaniment tailored to the film by Brett Valiant.

Audience members are encouraged to arrive early for a pre-show performance by our guest organist Rosemary Bailey 30 minutes before the film.
