(MIDDLETOWN, NJ) -- The Middletown Arts Center presents Movies at the MAC! After years of watching at home on TV or even a phone, now is your chance to enjoy some of Hollywood's finest with fellow fans on the big screen at the Middletown Arts Center. Movies at the MAC launches with three separate programs spotlighting the best in comedy, theater and music on celluloid. Each will each feature monthly screenings with discounted tickets available for MAC Members.
“We are excited to kick off our expanded 2024 programming with Movies at the MAC,” said Middletown Arts Center Executive Director Maggie O’Brien. “The last time many of these films appeared on a big screen in town was when the UA Movies at Middletown was still standing on Route 35 and Palmer Avenue. This will be a great chance for folks to come together, have some popcorn and enjoy these classic films the way they were meant to be seen.”
Ticket prices are $5 for members and $10 for the general public. All tickets are general admission. Tickets can be purchased at the door. For more information, visit middletownarts.org or call 732-706-4100. The Middletown Arts Center is located at 36 Church Street, Middletown, NJ (next to the Middletown train station). Free parking is available onsite with additional free parking available in the station-metered lot on weekday evenings after 6:00pm and on weekends.
