20 Apr 2015 UACCM announces free community movie night schedule

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton announces this year’s first “Starlight Cinema,” a free community movie night. The event will feature “Big Hero 6” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 28 in the Fine Arts Auditorium on the UACCM campus.

For this feature, UACCM is partnering with Community Service Inc. to host a special smoke-free movie event. In an effort to promote health and wellness, this unique event features a movie that depicts no use of tobacco products, a practice that is commonly shown on the silver screen.  Community Service Tobacco Prevention Coordinator Shannon Cook will be on-site with a display of literature and educational aids depicting the harmful effects of tobacco-use. Prior to show time, ads created by Arkansas students through the Stamp Out Smoking Big Pitch Film Festival will be shown.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The free event is not ticketed, and guests may seat themselves on a first-come, first-served basis. A free concession stand will open at 6 p.m. with popcorn and drinks while supplies last.

The tentative summer lineup for “Starlight Cinema” at UACCM has been set. Each movie will be shown on the lawn outside of the Fine Arts Building at sundown. In case of inclement weather, the movies will be shown inside the Fine Arts Auditorium beginning at 8 p.m. Free concessions will be provided at each event.  

The tentative lineup:
•    May 19 – “American Sniper”
•    June 16 – “Grease”
•    July 14 – “Furious 7”
•    August 11 – “Avengers Age of Ultron”
