It's Movie Time at Count Basie!

March 28, 2011 - PRLog -- OK, it’s spring, we know. But let’s face it, it’s still pretty darn cold out there. So rather than curl up on the couch with the kids and stick in yet another DVD, take them to the beautiful (and recently renovated) Count Basie Theatre where they can see one of these classics on the big screen. (Did we mention, it’s FREE?)

Friday night at 7:00 PM, treat your kids to Fantasia.   Here's the low down: Disney animators set pictures to Western classical music as Leopold Stokowski conducts the Philadelphia Orchestra.  The Sorcerer's Apprentice" features Mickey Mouse as an aspiring magician who oversteps his limits. "The Rite of Spring" tells the story of evolution, from single-celled animals to the death of the dinosaurs. "Dance of the Hours" is a comic ballet performed by ostriches, hippos, elephants, and alligators and more.

Or wait till Sunday at 2:00 PM to see The Black Stallion.  Here's a synopsis: While traveling with his father, young Alec becomes fascinated by a mysterious Arabian stallion that is brought on board and stabled in the ship he is sailing on.  When the ship tragically sinks both he and the horse survive only to be stranded on a deserted island.  Alec befriends the horse, so when finally rescued both return to his home where they soon meet Henry Dailey, a once successful trainer.  Together they begin training The Black to race against the fastest horses in the world.  A fantastic family film.

Although it’s free, you must get tickets either online (you can print them at home) or through the box office.
