Dirty Dancing

September 25, 2021 @ 8:00 pm - 9:45 pm

Trail & District Arts Council and The Royal Theatre present DIRTY DANCING at the Silver Screen Drive-In.

The music. The dancing. Patrick Swayze at his finest! “Dirty Dancing” has it all!

Spending the summer at a Catskills resort with her family, Frances “Baby” Houseman falls in love with the camp’s dance instructor, Johnny Castle.

It’s 1963 and Baby is one listless summer away from the Peace Corps. Hoping to enjoy her youth while it lasts, she’s disappointed when her summer plans deposit her at a sleepy resort in the Catskills with her parents. Her luck turns around when the resort’s dance instructor, Johnny, enlists Baby as his new partner, and the two fall in love. But Baby’s father forbids her from seeing Johnny, and he gets fired from his job, but nothing is going to stop them performing the last big dance of the summer.

About the Silver Screen Drive-in
The Royal Theatre and Trail & District Arts Council have joined forces to imagine your new, favourite summer experience, the Silver Screen Drive-in. Running from June to September, films will screen Thursday through Saturday at sunset in the Waneta Plaza upper parking lot. Upcoming films will include those event movies that you’ve missed seeing on a big screen, retro classics from comedy to horror, as well as those Sunday Cinema favourites been as well as Oscar winning independent films and documentaries. Plus, live performances of music, theatre, dance and more!

The Silver Screen Drive-in is sponsored by Bounce Radio, Century 21, Kootenay Savings Credit Union, Teck Metals Ltd. and Tourism Rossland, and made possible thanks to support from Waneta Plaza and funding from the Government of British Columbia, BC Arts Council, and Canadian Heritage.
