As the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman). While maneuvering his political rivals, he must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds. Directed by Joe Wright, DARKEST HOUR is the dramatic and inspiring story of four weeks in 1940 during which Churchill's courage to lead changed the course of world history.</span></b><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><br><em><u><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";font-style:normal'>THE DARKEST HOUR</span></u></em><em><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";font-style:normal'> (PG13)</span></em></span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><br>FRI & SAT: (2:00) – (5:00) – 8:00<br>SUN: (2:00) </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:red'>(Closing Early for Christmas Eve)<br></span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>MON: </span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#00B050'>(Christmas Day)</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>: (2:00) – (5:00) – 8:00<br>TUES & WED: (4:00) – 7:00<br></span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#0070C0'>NO THURS SHOW DUE TO SPECIAL EVENT…<br>It WILL return on Friday for another full schedule!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><em><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black;font-style:normal'>+++++++++++++++++++++</span></em><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><img border=0 width=46 height=54 id="Picture_x0020_14" src="cid:image006.jpg@01D379A0.94B192B0" alt="Skip pic.JPG"></span></b><b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br></span></u></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Skip Huston</span><b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br>RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO<br></span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:22.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!<br>WE HOPE YOUR HOLIDAY IS FULL OF JOY!!<br><i>Come See Us!!</i></span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<span style='color:#7030A0'><br></span></span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0070C0'>T<em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-style:normal'>he Avon Theater has been YOUR locally owned, family-operated 'hometown theater' for OVER 100 Years!!</span></em><br></span></b><em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black;font-style:normal'>NOW IN OUR 19<sup>th</sup> YEAR!! </span></em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br></span><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:black'><img border=0 width=48 height=56 id="Picture_x0020_8" src="cid:image007.jpg@01D379A0.94B192B0" alt="cid:image008.jpg@01D1C668.61DC48E0"></span></i></b><em><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:black'>-</span></em><em><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:black'> </span></em><em><b><span style='font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:black'>Skip Huston</span></b></em><b><i><span style='font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:black'><br></span></i></b><em><b><span style='font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:black;font-style:normal'>++++++++++++++++++++++++++</span></b></em><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
