Springfield, OR – Join Springfield Public Library for a free showing of the magical thriller The Prestige at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 14th at the Wildish Community Theater in downtown Springfield.

About the movie:
Robert and Alfred are both talented magicians plying their trade in 19th Century London. Soon, they become bitter rivals when Robert’s wife dies during a stage performance and blames Alfred for her death. Now both magicians escalate their feud by raising the risks of their opposing magic shows and sabotaging each other at every turn. Starring a superstar packed cast of Hugh Jackman, Scarlet Johansson, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Andy Serkis and David Bowie, this slick arcane thriller is one of Christopher Nolen’s unsung gems.

Join the Eugene Gleemen as we share "Songs We Love To Sing" on Saturday, May 17 at The Wildish Theater in downtown Springfield. We'll also be joined on stage with special guests--the Eugene Gay Men's Chorus!
Kids under 6 attend free! Other tickets start at $20. All proceeds go to support our nonprofit men's chorus
