Mar 8-14: Best Foreign Films, Kubrick, & $5 matinees!

Our first week of movies has been great and we'd like to THANK everyone who has checked out the Playhouse these past few days. We will be open everyday from now on, so be sure to check our website regularly, too, as we may add films to our program. We had a tremendous response to our FREE SOLO screenings, so we added another show on Sunday, March 10 at 9:10pm. This is a movie to see on the big screen! We also added MARY POPPINS RETURNS to our March Break $5 Film Fest. Look for it daily Mar 11-15 at 11:30am. To further the $5 love, if you are a veteran or you bring a vet to THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD, the veteran will get in for $5. Respect and gratitude! Finally, we will be marking the legacy of architect William Palmer Witton on Wed. Mar 13 with a FREE lecture and slideshow. See below for more details. Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces this week at the Playhouse!
