Victoria Theatre is soon opening its doors to anyone who wants to escape the summer heat to enjoy iconic films such as \u201cPurple Rain,\u201d \u201cThe \"\"Neverending Story\u201d and \u201cSinging in the Rain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The shows are part of the Victoria Theatre Association’s annual Cool Films Series. At $6 a ticket ($3 for family films), moviegoers can enjoy free popcorn and soda and air conditioning and their personal favorite nostalgic movies. Ten ticket \u201cPassbooks\u201d are also available for $35 before tax at the Schuster Center Box Office or at <\/span>www.ticketcenterstage.com<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cool Films begins on July 6 with Jim Henson\u2019s \u201cFollow that Bird,\u201d the first of several Thursday morning Family Films. Jim Henson returns to the Victoria when \u201cThe Muppets Take Manhattan\u201d on July 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kids young or old can enjoy the Family Films such as \u201cFlipper\u201d inside the cool and historic theatre. Much older kids might remember paying a dime to see cartoons back in its distant past when the theatre served as a Disney Cinema.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Classic films such as \u201cKelly\u2019s Heroes\u201d and \u201cCool Hand Luke\u201d are shown three times to give more\u00a0opportunities to watch Clint Eastwood rob a bank or Paul Newman eat 50 eggs. The old movies run entire weekends, with night-time screenings on Fridays and Saturdays as well as the afternoon on Sundays. <\/span><\/p>\n

The theatre presents an organ concert and classic cartoons to be enjoyed before each regular screening, as well as the free soda and popcorn. For adults, they open a cash bar and present live music before the late night shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool Films ends on August 26 with a night-time screening of cult classic \u201cThe Rocky Horror Picture Show.\u201d Moviegoers are encouraged to dress in costume for this one, but discouraged from bringing props. \u201cSurvival Kits\u201d are offered for $5 and provide props that are safe and appropriate inside the historical theatre.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

These \u201cReel Late\u201d night-time screenings are a fun way to start a night out in Dayton\u2019s downtown, as well as cost efficient entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Victoria Theatre will also host several events this summer season. On June 20 customers can partake in \u201cWine & Yoga.\u201d Due to the content, guests will have to be 21 or above to stretch out and enjoy a sampling of wines. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Association offers a military discount on most shows. The Association also has a program called Art F.O.R.C.E., focusing on helping military families cope with the stresses military life can have. Through creative ventures, the program hopes to offer ways for families to reflect and reduce stress. The acronym represents family, oasis, relationships, creativity and empowerment.<\/span><\/p>\n
