Also a reminder that we are a nonprofit organization that owns and operates the Fallon Theatre, and everyone is a volunteer.
Free movies: Playing Friday and Saturday evening at 6 p.m. is the 1987 sci/fi comedy “Spaceballs.” In a distant galaxy, planet Spaceball has depleted its air supply, leaving its citizens reliant on a product called Perri-Air. In desperation, Spaceball’s leader orders the evil Dark Helmet to kidnap Princess Vespa of oxygen-rich Druidia and hold her hostage in exchange for air. But help arrives for the Princess in the form of renegade space pilot Lone Starr and his half-man, half-dog partner Barf.
