August 28 @ 3:00 PM
Featuring Live Musical Accompaniment with the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ
Get whisked away to Never Never Land with Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy& her brothers, the Lost Boys and Captain Hook. Ingeniously capturing the mysteries and adventures of childhood, Barrie's timeless play became one of the most popular films of the 1920’s. This charming film adaptation also dazzles with remarkable special effects (as impressive today as they were in 1924). Cheering, jeering, gasping and laughing out loud heartily encouraged! 1924/1:45
TICKETS & CONTACT: Regular feature tickets are $9 (all ages). Tickets for the special PETER PAN silent film are $12 (adults) and $10 for kids 2 - 12, Seniors, Military, Tampa Theatre Members.
For directions and other theatre info, call the 24-hour info line at 813-274-8981 or visit www.tampatheatre.org.
PRE-SHOW THEATRE MINI TOURS: The movies start at 3pm, but theatre opens at 2pm when moviegoers can join a Tampa Theatreologist for a short jaunt around theatre. These volunteers have earned a degree in all things Tampa Theatre – history, architecture, quirky details, funny stories, etc. At about 2:40, the Tampa’s magnificently resorted 1,400-pipe Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ roars to life, ascending from beneath the stage. Volunteers with the Central Florida Theatre Organ Society perform popular tunes.
POST FILM TALKS: Moviegoers who want to learn more and talk about what they’ve just seen may stay for Post Film Talks after selected movies.
