LAKEPORT — The Soper-Reese Community Theatre will show the 1942 Christmas classic, “Holiday Inn,” 6 p.m. Dec. 13 in Lakeport.

This famous movie brings Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire to the screen as a popular nightclub song-and-dance team. After his heart is broken by his girlfriend, Crosby retires from the tensions of big city showbiz. He purchases a rustic New England farm and converts it to an inn, which he opens to the public (floor show and all) only on holidays.
The film is filled with memorable songs: including the Oscar-winning “White Christmas” as well as Fred Astaire”s best moment in his Fourth of July firecracker dance.
