Schedule
We show movies once a month during the summer as part of our Monday Funday events. We try to schedule a new kids movie for the 3:00 show and a blockbuster new release at 6:00. But it all depends on what is available to us. During the fall through spring our movies are shown on Saturdays. Click here to see upcoming shows and upcoming films.
Better than at Home
We show movies using a digital projection system with a digital, multi-channel surround sound system. See it on the BIG screen with the BIG sound at the BIC Center!
