The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 30; 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1. Gold Town Theater continues its Not-So-Silent Films series, presenting Lon Chaney’s 1923 epic masterpiece, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. The series pairs classics of the silent film era with live music, this time provided by The Sanctuary Orchestra, including Bob Banghart, Dave Hunsaker, Clay Good, Jason Caputo, and Robin Walz. The film took more than six months to shoot, had a then-staggering budget of $1 million, employed thousands of extras, catapulted Chaney to fame, and was the highest-grossing silent film ever for Universal Pictures. Chaney’s deft use of make-up and prosthetics was ground-breaking, and his daring stunts caused a sensation. Tickets are on sale online at goldtownnick.com
