Beatlemania to sweep the Dietrich

 

During the month of the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles first single of “Love Me Do,” the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock will host a free presentation chronicling The Beatles, a musical phenomenon that changed popular music forever.
Pennsylvania Humanities Council scholar Ken Womack will present a history of The Beatles in his multi-media presentation Oct. 21 at 3 p.m., of “The End: Authorship, Nostalgia and The Beatles.”
Sara Santa of Tunkhannock can remember seeing a Beatles movie at the Dietrich Theater in the 1960s, and during the movie children were dancing in the aisles. Esther Harmatz, projectionist and supervisor at the Dietrich Theater, remembers just missing a chance to meet them in person, because her father wanted to get back home to Scranton.
