Description:
As part of the Summer Arts Festival, The Lyric presents a Classic Movie Series. Some Like It Hot starring Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis will be shown on Saturday, August 17th and Wednesday, August 21st starting at 3 pm for both showings.

Some Like It Hot is a comedy that was released in 1959. Two struggling musicians witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and try to find a way out of the city before they are found and killed by the mob. The only job that will pay their way is an all girl band so the two dress up as women. In addition to hiding, each has his own problems; One falls for another band member but can't tell her his gender, and the other has a rich suitor who will not take "No," for an answer.

All classic movie presentations are free and open to the public.

The Summer Arts Festival (a joint effort by Virginia Tech and the Town of Blacksburg) was established in 1991. This Festival is held each summer beginning in June and ending in late August.
