Newtown Businesses Team Up For A Night of “Hardware & (Tom) Hanks”

NEWTOWN, PA — Two of Newtown’s most iconic businesses are teaming up for a hardware-themed party and screening of “The Money Pit” on Thursday, April 13.

This kooky special event begins with an after-hours party from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Newtown Hardware House. While there, guests will mingle in the aisles while enjoying several hardware-themed drinks (think screwdrivers and rusty nails!) and some light bites, including the Hardware House’s famous cookies.

Starting at 7 p.m., guests can begin making their way down State Street to the historic Newtown Theatre for a 7:30 screening of “The Money Pit.” This 1986 comedy stars a young Tom Hanks and Shelley Long as a couple who buys a suspiciously low-priced country estate. They soon realize why the price was so low when the house begins to hilariously fall down around their ears.

Tickets are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com for $30 per person for the party, movie, and free popcorn at the theatre (only 50 tickets available). Those who only want to attend the movie can buy tickets at the theatre’s box office starting at 7 p.m. All guests will receive a coupon good for 10 percent off a future purchase at the Hardware House.

The Newtown Hardware House is located at 108 S. State Street and the Newtown Theatre is located at 120 N. State Street. For the latest news about the Newtown Theatre visit TheNewtownTheatre.com.
