Hollywood Theater Celebrates 2nd Birthday This Weekend

Dormont's Hollywood Theater has had two successful years since re-opening in 2011, and the community is invited to celebrate.

Today, Friday, starting at 7 p.m., a Birthday Gala will be held at the Hollywood. Tickets for the event are $25, and the cost includes jazz standards performed live by the Thoth Trio, short classic films, and the debut of a film about the theater.

Birthday cake, raffles, drinks and more will be provided.

Proceeds from Friday's event benefit the Hollywood's ongoing effort to go digital by purchasing a digital movie projector.

The party continues Saturday from noon to 4 p.m., when patrons can stop by for free cartoons, film shorts, cake and popcorn.

The movie of the day is "Gone With the Wind" (1939) at 7 p.m., and the film also will be shown on Sunday at 2 p.m. A ticket purchase is required for the weekend showings of "Gone With the Wind."

The Sunday morning feature is the horror-comedy "Dead & Breakfast" (2004), with breakfast by Cain's Saloon at 10:30 a.m. The movie starts at 11:30 a.m. Tickets for the breakfast and movie are $15 on Showclix, or $7 for the movie only.

More information is available on the Hollywood Theater website.
