100-Year anniversary screening of Buster Keaton’s “The General”

With live piano accompaniment by George Krawczyk

Sunday, February 22, 2026, 3:00pm

Dress up in your best period attire and enjoy the luxe experience of seeing this great silent movie from 1926 in the Opera House! The film soundtrack will be performed live by noted Cheboygan pianist George Krawczyk.

One of Buster Keaton’s best efforts, this film has been called “the last great comedy of the silent screen.” It’s a Civil War story, with Keaton as a Confederate train engineer in search of his train. A frantic chase involves Keaton on the trail of Union soldiers, who in turn chase him. The plot is based on a true incident.

Tickets for this event are set at special 1926 prices — just 25¢!
