The Pittsburgh Area Theatre Organ Society (PATOS) and the Denis Theatre Foundation present Mel Brooks’ “Silent Movie” (1976), a parody of the silent filmmaking era.
Mel Brooks' hilarious 1976 tribute to Hollywood's silent era contains only one word of dialogue (and the movie is in color)! Starring Mel, Marty Feldman and Dom DeLuise, plus cameos by other famous celebrities, "Silent Movie" is a classic spoof of silent filmmaking.
Live theatre organ accompaniment will be provided by David Peckham, the 2016 American Theatre Organist of the Year and house organist at the Clemens Center in Elmira, NY. Educated at the Eastman School of Music, David's lively score on the PATOS 3 manual Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ will give patrons the authentic silent movie experience.
This event is a joint presentation of the Pittsburgh Area Theatre Organ Society and the Denis Theatre Foundation, which continues toward its goal of resurrecting the Denis Theatre in Mt. Lebanon.
Mel Brooks and David Peckham: silent cinema at its best! Don't miss it.
