Directed by Anderson, The Bridges of Madison County takes place in 1965 on the flatlands of Iowa. After years of living and working on their quiet family farm, Francesca grows tired of the simple life. However, her bland existence quickly takes a life-changing turn when handsome photographer Robert knocks on her door looking for directions to the nearest county bridge. Over the course of the next few days, Robert gives Francesca a taste of what a life filled with spontaneity and adventure is like, and the two begin a fervent journey as they fall deeply in love.
The Bridges of Madison County is presented through April 16. A discount matinee will be offered on Wednesday, March 29 at 10 a.m. with tickets starting at $20. Regular tickets range from $30-$65 and can be purchased online at tickets.auroratheatre.com or by calling the Box Office at 678-226-6222.
