5 Points Theatre Media Update 3/5

March 5, 2010 Comments »

1. We are running our “Dinner & a Movie” promotion all through March. Every Wednesday it’s buy one movie ticket, get one free with a receipt from any restaurant in 5 Points. The attached flyer has all the details and fine print, and a list of all the movies playing.

2. The Citrus Cel animation festival is starting to take shape! It will be April 9th through 11th at the theatre. It will open with the amazing Oscar-nominated Secret of the Kells:

Saturday night will feature A Town Called Panic, a film that is described as “More Terrifying than Psycho, More Catastrophic than Armageddon, More Romantic than Casablanca.” Watch the trailer:

3. We’ve also set our late night movies for the next month:

March 5 (tonight!) – Pee Wee’s Big Adventure at 11:30 pm
March 12 – The Warriors at 11:30 pm
March 19 – Dr. Strangelove at 11:30 pm
March 26 – Priscilla, Queen of the Desert at 11:30 pm
April 2nd – Eraserhead at 11 pm

I have to keep reminding myself to stop calling them “Midnight Movies” – we start them after the 9 pm show. This can be a little confusing, but it does seem to make it easier for older folks (like me) to catch the movies.

4. We are continuing to host some really fascinating events:

March 9 – JCCI Forward “Operation Welcome Home” is a forum examining how veterans are returning to Jacksonville and the challenges they face. For more info, check out their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=353247436312&ref=mf
March 16 – The return of Pecha Kucha. We’re expecting another big crowd for this one: http://www.aigajacksonville.org/events/pecha-kucha-8/
March 23 – We’ll be hosting the St. Johns Riverkeeper’s Annual Meeting
April 2 & 3 – The Florida Coastal School of Law puts on The Vagina Monologues. That’s right.
