VTA Announces Summer Cool Films Series
By: A.A. Cristi May. 23, 2017
"There's no better way to spend your summer than at the historic Victoria Theatre watching classic films," says Ken Neufeld, President and CEO of Victoria Theatre Association and The Arts Center Foundation. "We'll show early classics such as WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, BRIGADOON, ROYAL WEDDING and COOL HAND LUKE as well as later classics MCCABE AND Mrs. Miller, KELLEY'S HEROES and CLUE."
"Plus, we are once again hosting the Thursday Family Films series in July with THE NEVERENDING STORY, FLIPPER, FOLLOW THAT BIRD and THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN. THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW returns as part of the Reel Late at the VIC series lineup, along with PURPLE RAIN and Led Zeppelin: THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. We are still using 35 mm prints as much as possible, keeping the prices low and offering free popcorn and soda at most every show. Come on down and see these great films on the big screen with us this summer."
PRICE REMAINS BEST DEAL IN TOWN!
What's the best part about the 2017 Cool Films Series (besides FREE popcorn and soda)? Tickets are just $6 each ($3 for the Family Matinees) or $35 for a 10-ticket passbook- a great entertainment bargain during a year when a night at the movie theater can cost up to $20 per person! Passes can be used in any combination across all films!
Passbooks are on sale now through Ticket Center Stage. They may be purchased at the Schuster Center Box Office in downtown Dayton, by phone at (937) 228-3630 or toll free (888) 228-3630, or online at www.ticketcenterstage.com - click on Victoria Theatre Association, then Cool Films Series.
Individual tickets are available day-of-show at the Victoria Theatre Box Office, beginning one hour prior to showtime. Films are shown at 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. on Sundays in the air-conditioned comfort of the Victoria Theatre. Recreating the feel of the old-time movie palaces, guests may enjoy free popcorn and soda in the lobby beginning one hour prior to showtime and a classic cartoon just before the movie.
