Oscar Nominated Film FROST/NIXON Starts Its Run At The State Friday 3/6


This Friday 3/6 Frost/Nixon starts its run at The State. Frost/Nixon was nominated for five Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and has received almost unanimous critical acclaim. Below you will find some background on the film as well as the trailer:



For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. Likewise, Frost's team harbored doubts about their boss's ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon evade questions of his role in one of the nation's greatest disgraces? Or would Frost confound critics and bravely demand accountability from the man who'd built a career out of stonewalling? Over the course of their encounter, each man would reveal his own insecurities, ego and reserves of dignity--ultimately setting aside posturing in a stunning display of unvarnished truth.

Frost/Nixon, which was Nominated for FIVE Oscars starts its run at The State Friday 3/6 at 7:00 and 9:30 PM. The film continues it’s run from Saturday 3/7 (with shows at 7:00 & 9:30 PM) through Wednesday 3/11 with shows everyday at 7:00 & 9:30 PM (except Sunday 3/8 there is no 9:30 show). Sunday 3/8 & Wednesday 3/11 there are also 4:00 PM showings of the film. Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students and seniors and are available for purchase both ONLINE and at The State Theatre Box Office. See you there!
