Midtown Cinema is rolling out the red carpet and cueing up the films.
Harrisburg’s indie movie theater will fully reopen this week, following a temporary closure due to damage sustained during Hurricane Debby in August.
At the time, cinema officials shared that the Reily Street theater had suffered water damage and renovations would be necessary.
On Tuesday, Midtown Cinema announced its reopening for Friday, Oct. 18, with “reimagined” features. According to Rachel Landon, general manager, the theater now has a new stage in the lobby for performances, more social space, a permanent red carpet and improved soundproofing between theaters.
“This reopening is not just a return to the way things were—it’s a reimagining of what Midtown Cinema can offer,” Landon said.
To mark the reopening, Midtown Cinema will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. on Friday, along with a happy hour at the Zeroday Outpost, located inside the theater. There will also be tours of the facility, live music by Trace Jordan and a full schedule of movie screenings starting at 7:30 p.m. Midtown Cinema will show “The Apprentice,” “Saturday Night” and “Exhibiting Forgiveness.”
3rd in the Burg’s movie night will also take place that night at the cinema, showing “Night of the Living Dead.”
Midtown Cinema is offering members complimentary admission to a film of their choice that evening, while supplies last.
Midtown Cinema is located at 250 Reily St., Harrisburg. For more information, visit their website.
