The Academy of Music is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Hollywood classic shot in the Pioneer Valley, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, at the Academy of Music in Northampton Thursday night. The Oscar-winning film stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton as a dysfunctional, boozy couple hell bent on hurting each other and the people around them as they tear away at each other. In 1965, a film crew shot scenes for the movie at Smith College in Northampton as well as the former Red Basket Bar and Grill in Southampton.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 50th Anniversary Screening. Introductory remarks by Mike Haley. 7-9:30 p.m. $8, Academy of Music, 274 Main St., Northampton, (413) 584-9032.
