Children’s Matinee Series: “Cars”

Give the kids (and the kid in you!) something to enjoy with this month’s matinee movie at the Rio Grande Theatre!

November’s film of choice is “Cars”, the Pixar film about the legendary Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) who is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he’ll need the help of his troupe of friends to prove that #95 still has something left to give.

RGT Classic Films: “Gone with the Wind”

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!

Think you’ve seen all the good classics?

November’s classic film at the Rio Grande Theatre is “Gone with the Wind”, the 1939 American epic historical romance film adapted from Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 novel. Set in the American South against the backdrop of the Civil War and Reconstruction era, Gone with the Wind follows Scarlett O’Hara, the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner, from her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes to her marriage to Rhett Butler.

Whether you’re new to the film or can quote every line, there’s just something special about seeing it on the big screen. Join the fun at the Rio Grande Theatre this November and enjoy concessions like snacks, refreshments, beer, wine and spirits.
