The historic Carolina Theatre in downtown Greensboro has announced two summer movies series beginning in July.
The Carolina Kids Club is the modern version of the Circle K Club of the 1950s and 1960s, with a change that no one could have imagined in the ’50s and ’60s – kids will be required to wear masks.
Showtime for the Carolina Kids Club is 9:30 a.m. on Wednesdays beginning on July 14 and ending on August 11. The family friendly movies will be preceded by child-focused live stage entertainment. Carolina Kids Club tickets are $5 and include a snack pack with popcorn and a juice box. Watching kids eat popcorn and drinking juice while wearing a mask could be the source of additional entertainment.
The Carolina Kids Club is being supported with a grant from the Lincoln Financial Foundation.
Show time for Summer Film Fest movies is 7 p.m. and the series will begin on Monday, July 12 running through Thursday, August 19. A different movie will be shown each night Monday through Thursday.
Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 for students, teachers, seniors, military and groups of 10 or more. Essential workers receive a special discount of one free ticket with the purchase of a ticket. According to the Carolina Theatre essential workers include healthcare professionals; first responders; military and national guard; teachers and school staff; grocery and big box store employees; restaurant and gas station employees; government and utility employees; manufacturing employees; delivery employees including Uber and Lyft drivers; as well as artists, musicians and technicians.
The definition of essential workers covers a lot of territory, but journalists didn’t make the cut.
The Summer Film Fest begins with “Rebecca” on Monday July 12 and ends with “Coming to America” on Thursday, Aug. 19.
