With the start of spring term, school and work are starting to pick and up finding fun things to do is getting harder. Not too far from Western though, there\u2019s a fun and affordable activity for all ages.<\/p>\n
Salem\u2019s Elsinore Theatre is only a 20 minute drive from Western, in the heart of downtown Salem. The theatre has been around for over 90 years.
\nIt\u2019s a beautiful and historic place to check out, not to mention there are a ton of fun events there, too.<\/p>\n
\"\"The Elsinore Theatre is currently in the middle of its Wednesday film series. Each Wednesday, a different classic movie is shown. The films are shown each Wednesday at 7 p.m. for only $6, the next, \u201cThe Wizard of Oz\u201d being on April 5.<\/p>\n
For those over 21, some of these films also have wine pairings. There are two upcoming films with wine pairings: \u201cBreakfast at Tiffany\u2019s\u201d on April 19 and \u201cSingin\u2019 in the Rain\u201d on May 17. The times and prices for these events are the same and are still open to those under 21.<\/p>\n
On April 28, LaserSpectacular will have a live concert laser show to the music of Pink Floyd. The show will feature \u201cDark Side of the Moon\u201d and \u201cThe Best of Pink Floyd.\u201d Tickets are $15-$30 for students, depending on seating, and the doors open at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
The Elsinore Theatre also features a plethora of locally produced theatre events. With frequent high school drama festivals and shows from Theatreworks, the Elsinore never goes too long without an opportunity to see a show. The next show from Theatreworks is \u201cJunie B Jones\u201d on May 11. There are two showtimes: 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. Tickets for this show are $14.<\/p>\n
For a slightly higher price, the Elsinore also regularly has famous musicians and comedians do shows as well. Gordon Lightfoot will be playing a concert on June 12. Tickets for this are between $49-$69. Country singer Ned Ledoux is playing a show on June 30 for only $20-$30.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a little something for everyone at the Elsinore Theatre. Tickets to these events and more information about these and upcoming events can be found online at elsinoretheatre.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
