At the historic Somerville Theatre, the "Jack Attack Retrospective" celebrates the career of actor Jack Nicholson, and on Thursday, March 14, 2019, the cinema will present one of Nicholson’s early movies at American International Pictures, The Raven (1963), a comedy-horror movie in which he plays Rexford Bedlo, the son of magician Dr. Bedlo (Peter Lorre).

The Raven, shown in 35mm, will begin at 7:30 pm.

Tickets are $11 for general admission, and $8 for senior citizens age 65 and older. Tickets may be purchased at the box-office, which opens 10 minutes before the first show of the day. Tickets may also be purchased through the cinema’s website.

Parking is limited in the Davis Square area, including on-street metered parking and two small municipal lots. One lot is located at Holland and Buena Vista streets, and the other is located at Herbert and Day streets.

The Somerville Theatre is also served by public transportation, with the MBTA Red Line subway immediately next door to the cinema. More information about parking is available on the venue’s website.
