Classic Movie Night returns to its regular time slot Friday, Aug. 4, at 7 p.m. inside the Jefferson Theatre. The 1997 animated musical drama, “Anastasia,” will be shown, which was codirected by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and features the voices of actors Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Christopher Lloyd, Angela Lansbury, Hank Azaria, Kelsey Grammer, Bernadette Peters and Kirsten Dunst. 

This animated adventure spins a more optimistic twist on the long-mythicized story of the “lost daughter” of Russia’s last czar. A wicked sorcerer places a curse on the Romanov family, and Anastasia is separated from them during their attempts to escape from a rowdy revolt seizing their palace. Years later, after growing up with amnesia in an orphanage, “Anya” encounters two Russian men seeking a reward offered by the Dowager Empress Marie, for the return of her missing granddaughter. They decide to travel together to visit the Empress in Paris. Will Anya finally be reunited with her remaining family and find a loving home at last?

Tickets are $4 for kids, $6 for adults, and can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com or at the venue, day of the event. 

The Jefferson Theatre is located at 345 Fannin St. in downtown Beaumont. For more information, call (409) 838-3435 or view beaumonteventstx.com.
