The Mighty Wurlitzer

Hear the Mighty Wurlitzer at the Elsinore Theatre

Taking a page from its history, the Elsinore is bringing the 1927 silent film College, starring Buster Keaton, back to the big screen. But don’t worry, you won’t be sitting in silence. The movie will be accompanied by Rick Parks on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ.

Said to be the largest Wurlitzer in the Pacific Northwest, the historic instrument features more than 1,800 pipes. With its 183 keys, it's no wonder it can create the sounds of an entire orchestra. So even if you aren’t interested in the movie, which is about a bookish college student who tries to become an athlete to reconcile with his girlfriend, you can take in an hour-long organ concert. That alone is a pretty monumental experience.

The show takes place 7 p.m. April 6, at the Elsinore Theatre, 170 High St SE. Tickets are $10 each. Two kids (12 and younger) admitted free with each paid ticket. Info: 503-375-3574, elsinoretheatre.com.
