We had a huge crowd for our first screening of LOVING VINCENT, and we haven't anything from them except how amazing this film was. Tonight at 8:00pm you have another chance to see it; make sure you don't miss this incredible piece of film making, both in style and execution.

The Littlest Nutcracker. 2:00 & 6:00. The last two nights have been packed, and today looks to be continuing that trend. The box office is already open for the 2:00 show, and will open at 5:30 for the 6:00. These are our last two performances of this show for 2017, and we've had a blast working with Uptown Dance again; we're already looking forward to next year.

An early start to today's FIVE SHOW DAY at the Normal Theater, WE'RE NO ANGELS shows at 11am. It's a great film from 1955; we hope you can join us.

Closing out tonight is a film that needs little introduction, Will Ferrell in ELF. It's our Late Show tonight, but we'll also have a 7:00 show on Sunday if 10:30 is past your bedtime. Feel free to begin your quoting.

We have a great show lined up for this coming Monday. First we will have Beauties and the Beat performing "Once Upon a December" to put everyone in the holiday spirit. Then the second act of the show will feature three benefit performances by groups from the School of Theatre and Dance at Illinois State. Donations raised during the show will be given to the Pallets In Puerto Rico fundraising campaign to benefit victims of Hurrican Maria. Bring the whole family out to a great night of free live entertainment and donate to a wonderful cause!

Bill. Murray. In the 8:00pm slot tonight is the modern holiday classic, SCROOGED. It's just a great time, with equal parts scathing humor and real warmth. And if you can't make it out tonight, you have one more chance to see SCROOGED tomorrow at 10:30pm.

A rare three-show Friday kicks off tonight at 6:00pm with "The Littlest Nutcracker", presented by Uptown Dance. There are still a few advance tickets remaining, and the box office will open 30 minutes before with a limited amount of additional day-of tickets. We had just a few seats shy of a complete sell out last night, so if you want to see this multi-media performance you might want to get your tickets ahead of time.

Part Two of tonight's event double-header is the new film LOVING VINCENT. This is an absolutely stunning film, featuring over 65,000 hand-painted frames. We have a lot of tickets pre-sold for tonight, so it's not a bad idea to purchase them in advance; we do also have showings this Saturday at 8:00pm as well as next Friday & Sunday at 7:00pm. It's an amazing film; we hope you can join us.

Tonight at 6:00 we begin our second year of "The Littlest Nutcracker", a multi-media performance presented in partnership with Uptown Dance and featuring 200 of their dancers onstage and onscreen. Tonight's show is sold out of advance tickets, but a limited number remain available for walk-up sales when the box office opens at 5:30.

Closing out a semester-long partnership with the Illinois State University Dept. of Sociology & Anthropology in presenting films that focus on Food Justice and Sustainability, FOOD CHAINS screens tonight at 7pm, and is free to attend. This series has made for some great discussion and has given some rather eye-opening perspective; we hope you can join us.

Going to see WE'RE NO ANGELS tonight? You should- it's great fun. And if you can't make it to tonight's Tuesday Night Classic showing at 7pm, there's an encore matinee on Saturday at an early 11am start time.

Hollywood screen icon and brilliant scientist, Hedy Lamarr's story is simply fascinating. BOMBSHELL, the new documentary that chronicles Hedy Larmarr's life & career, begins its run at the Normal Theater on December 28th. We'll be showing some of Ms. Lamarr's films in rotation with this title, so make sure to check back for more on those later this week.
