THE EXPERIENCE

In connection with the Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm exhibit at the Portland Art Museum, join us for an evening of Beatles songs and the musical comedy A Hard Day’s Night. The Beatles set will be performed by Portland’s own Cruise Control!

ON SCREEN: A Hard Day’s Night

1964. Directed by Richard Lester. Runtime: 88 minutes. Rated G.

For the generations that cannot quite fathom or understand the phenomena of Beatlemania and the images captured in Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm, A Hard Day’s Night offers context and confluence. In this musical comedy, The Beatles travel from Liverpool to London to perform various concerts. However, things take a dramatic turn as they realize that their drummer, Ringo, has gone missing. Given expansive access, writer Alun Owen and director Dick Lester bunked with the band in February of 1964 to observe Beatlemania (in Paris) first-hand just after their return from conquering America.

ON STAGE: Cruise Control

Cruise Control is a twangin rock n roll country band from Portland, OR featuring the Lonesome Cowboy Iz, Mr. Butterfield, Tim Daylight, and Penny Olives.
