Chillicothe Optimist Club members keep enticing the public to watch a movie on the big screen, and it does not get any better than free.
Area businesses are teaming up with Town Theatre to offer a free, Friday night movie every week in 2012.
With 56 merchants so far committed to paying $50 per month for 12 months, they are paying for the seats each Friday night. Essentially 15 businesses will sponsor the movie each Friday night at 7 p.m. in Theater A, which has 150 seats.
The first movie to be shown is “The Adventures of Tintin.”
Doors will open at 6 p.m. for moviegoers to secure a seat on a first-come, first served basis.
Merchants sponsoring the night are not only from Chillicothe, but also surrounding areas such as Lacon and Henry.
“This is going to be huge for the community,” said Optimist and Town Theater treasurer Irvin Latta. “Even at our prices, some people might be priced out.”
He points to the businesses supporting and said he salutes them.
“They are bombarded with requests all the time. This was a huge request and they came through,” said Latta.
The club recently celebrated two years of owning the two-auditorium theater.
Both Optimist Mike Mahoney and Latta said they are not aware of any theater offering the deal Town Theatre is.
“When we started with Town Theatre it was a unique concept and this takes it a step further,” said Mahoney.
