THE PARENT TRAP Set for Orpheum's Summer Movie Series Today

The Orpheum's Summer Movie Series and The Memphis Redbirds will team up to present "Scout Day" at the Orpheum's 1:30 PM matinee showing of Walt Disney's 1961 family classic, THE PARENT TRAP today, June 28.

Scout Day will include a special appearance by Rockey the Rockin' Redbird, the official team mascot of the Memphis Redbirds; exclusive admission discounts to Girl and Boy Scout troops, day cares, and summer camp groups who purchase in advance; and an opportunity for Girl and Boy Scouts to enter to win a family pack of four tickets to a Redbirds game as well as a limited edition Redbirds patch.

"Rockey can't wait to see all of his fans at the Orpheum," says Redbirds Marketing Manager Erin O'Donnell. "This is a great opportunity for Scouts, campers, and their families to meet one of Memphis' most beloved mascots and take in a funny - and heartwarming - feature all in one incredible family outing."

Hayley Mills pulls double duty in the 1961 version of Walt Disney's THE PARENT TRAP as she plays twins who, unknown to their divorced parents, meet at a summer camp. Products of single parent households, they switch places (surprise!) in order to meet the parent they never knew, and then plot to rekindle their parents' forgotten flame. This film is rated G and is appropriate for General Audiences.

Rockey the Rockin' Redbird, the official team mascot of the Memphis Redbirds, will be at the Orpheum Theatre to sign autographs and take pictures starting at 12:30 PM.
