Dear Friends,

          Welcome to the very late June edition of the GPAC Newsletter. Many of us have been on vacation, but the theater is having a historic month nonetheless!

          We are extremely excited to announce the premier of our brand new, state-of-the-art movie screen! To kick off the new line of entertainment, we are now showing a funny, funny film shot right in the Mt. Pleasant/Scottdale Area called “Mars Attacks Mt. Pleasant.” We are thrilled for the opportunity to bring you low-cost contemporary and independent films in our air-conditioned theater.

Mars Attacks Mt. Pleasant                          June 26 – 29

Show times 7:00 pm & 9:00 pm - Thursday, June 26 – Sunday, June 29.

Tickets $5.00

* * * *Four Stars! - Lisa Zaucha, marketing director

A comedy of errors and BIG ol' lies! This fun, family friendly film was shot on location around the Mt. Pleasant and Scottdale areas. You will see many familiar places and faces including Mt. Pleasant's Chief of Police, more than 100 local cast members, hundreds of local extras, the R&R, and our very own theater.

You'll laugh and laugh again at the silly antics these four unlikely friends go through to cover up one blunder after another!
“This quirky comedy looks at simple hometown folks who tell a little white lie – get some media attention and like it – and then feed a new story to the police and media just for fun. The result is worldwide media attention they were not expecting, new falsified stories they were not counting on – something only an invasion from Mars can stop. The rest is history.”
 Mars Attacks will surely become a proud piece of local history!

Show times are 7:00 pm & 9:00 pm, Thursday, June 26 – Sunday, June 29.

Approx. 80 minutes
