Cazenovia — Friday night movies are coming back to the Catherine Cummings Theatre, and it wouldn’t be complete without the piano-playing gorilla.
Many community members recall enjoying movies at this vintage community landmark in years past, and now residents will once again be able to enjoy both new releases and classic films right here in the village on fully updated digital technology and a full-sized screen.
The movies will be shown at 7:30 p.m. on Friday evenings. Doors will open one hour prior. The first movie, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” is scheduled for March 18. The rest of the schedule includes, “Inside Out” (April 22), “E.T.” (May 20), “Zoolander 2” (June 17) and “Creed” (July 15).
The cost for the movies is $6 general admission and tickets will be available at the door. Refreshments will be available for sale.
This program is possible through a partnership between the Catherine Cummings Theatre at Cazenovia College and the Cazenovia Area Community Development Association (CACDA). Series sponsors include the Cazenovia Lions Club; Nicki Donlin, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson Realty USA; Karen Reynolds, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, Realty USA; and GoCaz.com/CACDA.
“I have talked with so many people in the community who saw “E.T.,” “Jaws” or “Indiana Jones” years ago when the theatre was a movie house and I am thrilled to partner with CACDA to bring them back as part of this great community. I am confident that the movies will be well received so that we can expand the number of days we present per month, and add additional movie programming,” said theatre director Colleen Prossner.
The theatre is located at 16 Lincklaen St. For more information, visit Cazenovia.edu/theatre or on Facebook at Catherine Cummings Theatre or call 655-STAR.
