Centre Theater Kicks Off 2010-11 Season with MOLUMBY'S MILLION 11/5-11/28
The Centre Theatre will present the world premiere of "Molumby's Million," a new comedy about heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey and his big fight in a little Montana town. "Molumby's Million" opens November 5 and runs through November 28. Showtimes are 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
Boxing champ Jack Dempsey is in a pickle; he wants a fight, but crooked promoters, conniving reporters, and shady dames keep him from the fight he wants. He ends up fighting for his championship and pride in a tiny cowtown in Montana in the world premier of the new hard punching comedy by D.W. Gregory, "Molumby's Million." The Centre Theater brings this true story to life with all the force of a knockout blow.
In 1923 Dempsey was on top of the world, making movies in Hollywood, and enjoying his millions. In tiny Shelby Montana, a group of city fathers raised enough money to lure the champ to their town on the high plains to fight local boxer and World War One hero Tommy Gibbons. Dempsey was worried about fighting a veteran since he was widely seen as a coward and slacker having skipped service in the war.
Based on actual events, the play tells the story of how "Hollywood" Jack Dempsey, the world champ and biggest name in the nation, ends up fighting in the middle of nowhere.
The performances will take place at The Centre Theater at 208 DeKalb Street, Norristown, PA in our 4th floor theatre.
