Get ready for a journey back to the Roaring Twenties — the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra is set to bring the classic 1925 film The Freshman to life with a live orchestral performance on March 7. The ensemble, described by unnamed pundits as “the premier American ragtime ensemble,” will unfurl its musical prowess at 7:30 p.m. in the Huffines Performance Hall at the Lewisville Grand Theater, serenading the silent college comedy with their historic scores and live sound effects, according to the City of Lewisville.
Themed around the Lewisville Centennial Celebration, this featured evening isn't just any normal movie night, it’s an experience.
