Colonial Theatre To Hold Star Trek Movie Marathon For Father's Day

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Looking for something fun to do for Father's Day in the local area? Three of the best Star Trek films will played throughout the day on Father's Day at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville as part of the theatre's first ever Star Trek marathon.

“Our audience has been asking for a Star Trek marathon for some time and it seemed highly illogical not to make it so.” said Kirsten Van Vlandren, Colonial Theatre Programming Director. “Although our Father’s Day marathons are a great way for families to celebrate this special occasion, we encourage everyone to join us for an afternoon of sci-fi fun.”

Organizers at the Colonial selected Star Treks II, IV, and VI: The Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, and The Undiscovered Country. They called them "the most highly regarded entries" in the Stark Trek film series.

The afternoon of June 18 will begin at 1:30 p.m. with Khan, continue at 3:45 with The Voyage Home, and then finally show The Undiscovered Country, the last cinematic hurrah of the original crew, at 6 p.m.

In addition to the films, there will be introductions to the film by Colonial volunteers, Trek trivia, and a pre-show prize raffle.

Fans are encouraged to wear Star Trek attire. There will be brief intermissions between the films.
