After 3-1/2 years of diligent construction, Aztec Shawnee Theater opened in December 2020. We are showcasing some of the most incredible local and regional music acts in the beautifully restored auditorium for intimate, up-close, and personal concert

s. We are currently booking for private events including class reunions, birthday parties, corporate meetings, etc. The maximum occupancy of the theater is 270 but we are currently limiting ticket sales and entry to less than 200 to allow for safety and proper social distancing. The theater has vinyl auditorium-style seating that is sanitized thoroughly after every use. Aztec Shawnee Theater aims to be one of the most beautiful, single-screen theaters in the area. Visitors will witness firsthand the “golden age” of movies through vintage and classic film showings. The “movie palace” experience will be an integral part of all activities at Aztec Shawnee Theater. The Aztec Group plans to get Aztec Shawnee Theater on the National Register of Historic Places.

Tributes to REM and The Replacements
Begin the Begin with Left Of The Dial

https://aztecshawneetheater.ticketspice.com/begin-the-begin-with-left-of-the-dial-july-24th-at-the-aztec-shawnee-theater?t=BTBREPL072426sm

Begin the Begin
BEGIN THE BEGIN members grew up on early R.E.M. songs in high school and college, trading bootleg cassette tape versions of obscure recordings and live shows. They bring polished precision to the R.E.M. tunes and make the live shows fun, entertaining, and nostalgic with high energy.
Left of the Dial
With a name pulled straight from The Replacement’s iconic anthem, Left of the Dial captures the spirit, chaos, and catharsis of the Minneapolis legends with raw energy and heartfelt fidelity. They deliver the hits, deep cuts, and spontaneous moments that made the band infamous. From the boozy swagger of “I'll Buy” to the tender ache of “Unsatisfied,” their set is both a celebration and a reimagining of one of punk’s most influential and unpredictable bands. Left of the Dial brings the same urgent, beautiful mess to the stage. Come for the songs. Stay for the beautiful trainwreck.

Wings (1927) is a silent movie and holds the distinction of being the first film to win the Academy Award for Outstanding Picture (now Best Picture) at the inaugural 1929 Oscars. It is a war romance directed by William A. Wellman, featuring Clara Bow, known for its intense, realistic aerial combat scenes.

Key details about the film include:
• Audio: While primarily a silent film, it was released with a synchronized musical score and sound effects, making it one of the last great silent spectaculars.
• Legacy: It is renowned for groundbreaking, real-life aerial cinematography.
• Awards: It won Best Picture and Best Engineering Effects at the 1st Academy Awards.

Wings is the first film to win the Academy Award® for Best Picture. Featuring a meticulous restoration and a newly recorded soundtrack based on the original score. This timeless story of love and loss follows two men who go to war and the girl they leave behind. Popular Twenties "It" girl Clara Bow stars with Richard Arlen, Charles "Buddy" Rogers and Gary Cooper in a legendary cameo appearance.
