dir. Victor Fleming
This famous adaptation of the fantasy novel by L. Frank Baum proved to be a launching pad for the career of child star Judy Garland. Garland’s performance as Dorothy – a girl trying to navigate the mysterious land of Oz with the help of a wild cast of characters – is one of the most well-known and celebrated in the history of family-oriented films. The Wizard of Oz is also celebrated for its groundbreaking use of Technicolor and unforgettable musical numbers. While it has become a mainstay on television during the holiday season, its many charms and visual flair are best experienced on the big screen.
Bardavon Presents our 24/25 film series, PREMIER PERFORMANCES. This year’s film choices focus on legendary stars of stage and screen in some of their most memorable roles. In addition to the screenings being free of charge, all nine films in the series are preceded by a Happy Hour, featuring half-price beer and wine, as well as free snacks and soda. For all films, Happy Hour starts at 6:30, followed by each screening at 7:30. Additionally, all Bardavon screenings feature a 30-minute pre-show concert by Juan Cardona Jr. on the Bardavon’s Mighty Wurlitzer organ, courtesy of NYTOS. Join us and experience a piece of cinematic history!
Curated by the Kingston Film Foundation, and made possible with support from Marshall & Sterling, Radio Kingston, Herzog’s, Woodstock Film Festival, NYTOS, and the Poughkeepsie Public Library District.
