The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Great Day in the Morning starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman calendar, "a grisly and perverse anti-Western made at a time when neither critics nor audiences could recognize or appreciate the form, Great Day in the Morning chronicles the ignominious decline of Southern scoundrel Robert Stack in 1860s Denver. Torn between Easterner Virginia Mayo and barmaid Ruth Roman, Stack ultimately privileges usury, drink, and unexamined Confederate solidarity over either of them with tragic consequences."

Dryden Theater calendar]
[all ages]
Tonight starting around 9 p.m. is The Bobby T. & Erik Anders' Double Birthday All the Way! at The Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave.) with White Bison, Chillum, Erik Anders, and The Abandoned Buildings Club.
