Before school starts again, come to the Harbor Theater in Boothbay Harbor on Sunday, September 1st at 7 p.m. for a free, rocking retro throwback to the past with “Grease” (1978, 1 hour 50 minutes) on the big screen.
Starting at 6pm, there will be 50’s themed diner and drive-thru photo booths, a sock hop in the aisles, retro advertisements and cartoons on screen, hula hoops, contests and lots of prizes. Dress up in 50’s style skirts, cat eye glasses, ankle socks, t-shirts and slick back your greasy hair for a chance to win prizes like retro posters, jewelry, stickers, home decor and more!
All activities and the film are free and open to people of all ages.
Just as drive-in fun was returning to Boothbay Harbor in recent years, a shortage of drive-in equipment and operators in Maine forced the Harbor Theater to rethink its filming options for the end of summer 2024.
“Grease” seemed like the perfect marriage of drive-in informality and indoor comfort. As always, there will be plenty of hot buttered popcorn, candy and sodas at the concession stand.
This is the perfect film to experience the friendships, romances and adventures of a group of high school students in the 1950s. Welcome to the singing, dancing world of Grease, the most successful film musical of all time.
The Harbor Theater’s auditorium seats 170 people, but to ensure families or groups can sit together, be sure to arrive early for doors opening at 6 p.m. and take advantage of all the fun activities before the movie starts at 7 p.m.
