The Gold Rush is Charlie Chaplin’s classic 1925 silent comedy. It was written, produced, and directed by Charlie Chaplin who stars in the film as the Little Tramp. The Tramp decides that he should become a gold-digger who joins a brave optimist determined to face all the pitfalls associated with the search for gold, such as sickness, hunger, cold, loneliness or the possibility that he may at any time be attacked by a grizzly.
The Gold Rush was critically acclaimed upon its release and continues to be one of Chaplin's most celebrated works; Chaplin himself cited it several times as the film for which he most wanted to be remembered. The Center Theatre is proud to present the film as it was meant to be seen with live piano accompaniment by the incomparable Doug Protsic.
General admission $10, Theater Members $8.
