Get groovy with the Beatles
The Beatles famously quit touring in 1966, citing the hysterical, out-of-control crowds that greeted them at every stop. Boomers can relive those days, and younger folks can discover that shrieking girls have been greeting bands of cute boys for decades, with the new documentary The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years. It’s showing at the Nightlight in downtown Akron at 7:30 p.m. Monday, 6:30 and 9:15 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday. Tickets are $9, $8 children and seniors. www.nightlightcinema.com.
