ROCKLAND — The Strand Theatre will present the film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 7 p.m., as part of its Jubilee Film Series, which celebrates acclaimed films that have anniversaries in 2024. 

Frank Capra directed this comedy/drama that stars Jimmy Stewart as the idealistic young Jefferson Smith, who has been appointed to the United States Senate and gains the mentorship of Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains). However, Paine isn't as noble as his reputation would indicate, and he becomes involved in a scheme to discredit Smith, who wants to build a boys' campsite where a more lucrative project could go. Determined to stand up against Paine and his corrupt peers, Smith takes his case to the Senate floor.

Tickets are $10/General Admission, $8/Senior and Under 12, $7/Strand Members, and will be available at the box office 30 minutes prior to show time. Beer and wine are available at concessions.
