Description

January 6 and 7 - Friday and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. both days


What it is: Elvis Presley plays Steve Grayson, an overly-generous NASCAR driver who ends up owing the IRS back taxes due to the financial mismanagement of his manager. An IRS agent played by Nancy Sinatra arrives to investigate - will she fall for this racer with a heart of gold? 


Why we're showing it: An Artcraft tradition is to show an Elvis film as the first movie of the year, in honor of The King's January birthday. Speedway couples Elvis's talents with that of Nancy Sinatra, bringing the two of them together through the danger and excitement of the racing track. 


 - Tickets on-sale for members 11/9 between 11am and noon; for the general public, on 11/16.



If you are feeling unwell or have been in contact with a sick individual, for the safety of others, please do not attend. Refunds are available for illnesses - please contact the Will Call office by phone or email.

Effective June 1, 2022, the Artcraft is instituting a 3.25% fee on credit card orders to cover the cost of credit card company fees.
