Beach Theatre Open Weekends
The Beach Theatre Foundation completed renovations on Theater One and Theater Two just in time for the 2007 festival. Patrons were dazzled and pleased by the transformation that makes the Beach Theatre a comfortable and cozy venue for movies.
With the new programming, it promises to be far more than just another movie house. The high definition digital projection equipment is being installed as I write this, and with it comes a state-of-the-art sound system. Check out the schedule and be sure to get on the mailing list. Visit their website at BeachTheatre.org.
