Nolan Center hosting Nostalgic Movie Nights

The Nolan Center, Wrangell's museum, convention center, and theater has announced a new monthly program for moviegoers young and old to enjoy. Starting Thursday, Sept. 19 at 6:30, the public is invited to "Throw Back Thursday" movie night. The monthly program will provide people with dinner and a nostalgic movie from days gone by.

"It's something that Cyni [Crary] thought up when she first took over her director position last year, and once I came on as the manager here we were able to implement it," said Keeleigh Solverson, with the Nolan Center.

The first "Throw Back Thursday" will feature the 1985 film "The Breakfast Club." Tickets get people access to the movie and a complimentary dinner. Solverson said that the theater's usual concessions will also be available. The Nolan Center will be continuing their regular schedule of more modern films on weekends, too.

The nostalgic movie nights are a great way for people to see popular movies from the past, Solverson said. They plan to show all the classics. Next month will be a classic Halloween movie, she said, and around December they will show a Christmas movie.

"It'll be your 'Steel Magnolias' and, you know, your 'Grease' and all your classics that we'll rotate throughout the months," she said.

To learn more about the movie nights, contact the Nolan Center at (907) 874-3699. Solverson added that they are also open to suggestions about which movies to show.
