Ashland Theatre

We were heartbroken to learn about the passing of Dolly Parton, a true American icon whose art, generosity and fiercely bright spirit touched generations.

Dolly had a real knack for making people laugh and helping us all to dream a little bit bigger and believe in the goodness of the folks around us. Her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched and, of course, through the unforgettable characters and stories she helped bring to the big screen!

We hope you’ll join us at the Ashland Theatre for two special screenings of her most classic fan-favorite films.

September 30th - ‘Steel Magnolias’ at 7PM
October 1st - ‘9 to 5’ at 7PM

And because Dolly always believed in a little sparkle, we’ll be raising a glass in her honor with a themed pink lemonade signature cocktail.

Show up in your rhinestones, sequins or even just your cowboy boots as we celebrate her life, the incredible work she's done and the wonderful, fabulous community she was able to bring together in her time with us.

Get your tickets below! 10% of all ticket proceeds will be donated to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
