Perfect Cinematic Timing

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — How ironic is this?

Moviegoers watching the classic 1952 film, "Singing in the Rain" outside at a Medford, Ore., amphitheater were rained on — by sprinklers that came on — and couldn't be shut off.

A theater manager says the roughly 1,000 people laughed at the irony of the situation.

But since workers were afraid the projection equipment would be ruined, they shut off the film while the sprinklers watered the park.

The movie, starring Gene Kelly (search) and Debbie Reynolds (search), has been rescheduled for next month.

A recent power outage threw off timer clocks for the sprinkler system.

We had an outdoor theater in Gtmo when I lived there, the Lyseum.

Used to take a vanload of neighborhood kids (off their parents hands) on Friday nights to see all the old Disney classics.

... nice memory

Might have got sprinkled on once or so... that place is like AZ, rains about two weeks out of the year. Their monsoon comes in October.
