The Philadelphia Story

We often hear people say, "I watched movies here when I was a kid!" Now they will have a chance to do it again (but without the candy and pop this time...sorry), and a whole generation will have the opportunity to experience The Midland Theatre of years past. Beginning June 12, we will be presenting a series called "Theatre Thursdays" a series of 3 fabulous classic films sponsored by The Licking County Senior Citizens Levy. There will be 2 showings at 2:00pm and 7:00pm. We hope you enjoy this amazing collection of classics...they don't make films like this anymore.
