The first show will be Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 7pm and will be a spooky Halloween event. Film & Strings: The Cat and Canary will showcase the FIRST Universal Studios horror movie., a haunted house comedy mystery. Violist Elizabeth Simchick has arraigned a unique score to this silent classic, featuring some of the original luminaries of film such as Flora Finch and director Paul Leni. Accompanied by guitarist Jeff Ingersol and percussionist Mark Shiner, the mood and big reveals will be amplified by the music, as would have been when the film first premiered in 1927. As an added bonus, CAC members can attend this performance for free.
