About Flicked

The Flicked experience returns to the days of vaudeville as affordable community entertainment, with live music accompanying the film as well as live acts. Flicked is “old movies with new music, vaude-vilified with live acts.”  Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock and Open Gate Theatre hope that the affordable new series will serve as a place for people to gather for old-fashioned community entertainment, leaving their homes and televisions behind once a month on Sunday nights. It's cheaper than the movie theatre and a lot more fun!

About Open Gate Theatre

Open Gate Theatre was founded in 1982 by Artistic Director Will Salmon. They are dedicated to opening the gates between music, dance, and drama; between cultures; between the unconscious and the conscious; between emotion, mind and spirit. Open Gate is both an ensemble and a creative collective, combining image with sound, voice with movement, and poetics with light; Open Gate strives for a theatre that is both passionate and numinous. Open Gate is a unique approach to theatre; unified in its expression and impulse, diverse in its sources and disciplines.
