The Dalles, Ore., Nov. 8, 2025 — Downtown got a double shot Friday night as the Historic Granada Theatre hosted Britain’s Finest: The Complete Beatles Experience and spotlighted new business Prints Charming Repair, now open on East Second Street.

Gary Francis and Kassandra Wood are surrounded by their Fab Four creations at the Granada Theatre in The Dalles on Friday night during a Beatles tribute convert. The couple started their new business Prints Charming Repair and created these fun prints at the request of theatre owners Chuck and Debra Gomez.

Owners Chuck and Debra Gomez wanted the tribute show to feel like a full Beatles celebration, so they partnered with Prints Charming co-owners Kassandra Wood and Gary Francis to design life-size handheld prints of John, Paul, George and Ringo. Mounted on wooden paddles, the Fab Four faces became instant souvenirs as the crowd lifted them overhead during the band’s opening numbers.

Gomez invited Wood and Francis to stand in front of the audience during the show, surrounding them with the very prints they created. Concertgoers cheered as Britain’s Finest incorporated the paddles into the performance, pointing them out from the stage and referencing the shop by name throughout the night.

“It was pretty incredible. It made me laugh and cry, all the emotions,” Wood said. “The Beatles were one of my aunties’ and mom’s favorite bands. They’re both gone now, but it felt like they were almost there. It was pretty great.”

Gomez said the collaborative moment became one of the night’s highlights.

“OMG Tommy! It was a huge hit!” he said. “The band really worked it with us! They mentioned the print shop by name several times, and while on stage directed the audience with their paddles toward the front corner so Josh could get a house shot with the band on stage!”
