CLOSE ENCOUNTERS of the THIRD KIND: Summer Classic Movies at the Senator Theatre!

This week, catch CLOSE ENCOUNTERS on the BIG screen on August 12, 15 & 16 and help support our neighborhood schools with a supply drive!

Join us this week at the historic Senator Theatre as our Summer Classic Movie Series continues with Steven Spielberg’s 1977 sci-fi blockbuster, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (PG) on the big screen in the spectacular main auditorium! Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Francois Truffaut and Teri Garr, Spielberg’s humanistic postmodern masterpiece depicts the life-transforming experiences of a man who becomes an impassioned participant in an otherworldly spectacle.

On Wednesday August 12th at 7pm, the screening will feature a special introduction by Christopher Llewellyn Reed, Professor of the Department of Film/Video at Stevenson University and a regular film review contributor to WYPR’s 88.1 FM’s Midday with Dan Rodricks show. More: chrisreedfilm.com
