Not to Miss Events
The Girl of the Golden West was the first “spaghetti western” in
Opera’s history. A revolver-wielding sheriff, a group of homesick
Gold Rush miners, desperate bandits and a girl with a pure heart
come together in one of Puccini’s greatest works for a production
that is full of life!

Product Updates
Think you can’t go to the movies because of
hearing impairment? Think again!
Willcox Historic Theater presents you with
Dolby CaptiView.
Dolby CaptiView is a personal in-theatre closed captioning system for hearing-impaired movie audiences
that transmits and receives closed captions on a wireless frequency. With an 80-meter signal range, Dolby
CaptiView can be used from any seat in the house.
The Dolby CaptiView viewing device consists of a small OLED display on a bendable support arm that fits into
the theatre seat cup holder. The easy-to-read screen is equipped and has a high-contrast display that comes with
a privacy visor so it can be positioned directly in front of the movie patron with minimal impact or distraction
to neighboring patrons.
For inquiries, ask your friendly staff or call 520-766-3334.
