First Sunday Opens at Rockingham Theatre

My good friend Gary Doss runs the Rockingham Theatre in downtown Reidsville, NC. This week, they are showing "First Sunday." Based on the reviews of the film, I thought I would promote this here because.....well, Gary might need all the help he can get!

In all seriousness, the Rockingham Theatre, which is known affectionately as "The Rock" is a great place for the whole family to see a movie. And, the popcorn is quite good too.

In fact, if you go see "First Sunday" and tell Gary that you heard about The Rock through this blog, he will give you a free........smile and that's worth the price of admission in itself. (Movies at The Rock are a mere five dollars_matinees and children prices are cheaper. In nearby Greensboro, the same movie can cost you up to four dollars more!)

"First Sunday" stars Ice Cube, Katt Williams and Tracy Morgan. The David E. Talbert film is about two best friends who also happen to be bumbling criminals.

The Rock was built in 1929 and it is one of the oldest operating cinemas in the Greensboro area which still shows films on a daily basis.

Other old cinemas in the region include The Carolina Theatre in Greensboro and The Graham Cinema in Graham, NC.

There is also The Eden Drive-In (closed for season), which is owned by the same people as The Rock, in Eden, NC.

If "First Sunday" is not your type of movie, don't fret. Gary should have something new next week.  And, you can always just go in for the popcorn.

Shows are at 7:30 p.m. nightly with 3:00 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
