The spirit of adventure is thriving at the Bay Theatre with two real-life stories of taking to the open road on one’s own terms. Two similar stories of a skateboarder making their intrepid way across the farm roads and lonely highways of America, one from local legend and filmmaker, Jack Smith, about his 2003 push to raise awareness for Lowe Syndrome, and another about Chad Caruso’s push from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach to raise awareness for mental health. Never underestimate the power of the push!

David Lean’s epic masterpiece of one man against all odds is coming to our screen for one show only! See Peter O’Toole as the titular unlikely hero, whose blind faith in himself and seemingly reckless abandon in the face of insurmountable odds steers him time and again on his complicated path to glory, or something like it. A testament to the power of following one’s own sense of what’s right in small moments that lead to tremendous results.

Join us with the Morro Bay Maritime Museum for this special presentation of the riveting documentary account of the largest peacetime Naval disaster in history! Devil’s Jaw is the name of a treacherous pass of the Pacific between Point Conception and the Channel Islands, and when a fleet of Navy destroyers attempted a speed run from San Fransisco to San Diego in September of 1923, a string of spooky coincidences and unlucky decisions saw seven speeding ships careen into the California coast in a historic pile up. This documentary paints a vivid and exciting picture of the events.
