Summer Stock film still

Each month, Melanie Friesen invites a distinguished guest to Vancity Theatre’s Cinema Salon, in order to present his/her favourite film. After the screening, both audience and speaker have the opportunity to engage over drinks and snacks in the Vancity lounge. This month’s film is Charles Walters’ Summer Stock.

When Abigail (Gloria DeHaven) invites a theatre troupe to rehearse in her sister’s barn, she fails to mention it to Jane (Judy Garland), who is not best pleased. City slickers and country cousins collide as the actors agree to help out around the farm, but the right people fall in love and the musical numbers are unmissable in this 1950 classic.
