The weekend of January 9, 2009 - January 11, 2009 we'll be showing The Tale of Despereaux.
Heroes come in many sizes. They aren't all strong and handsome. In fact, they can be a small as a mouse and have ears the size of Dumbo the Elephant. They can be Despereaux.
Despereaux isn't like other mice. He doesn't cower in fear from the things of the world. To him, carving knives are swords fit for a gentleman. He draws pictures of cats on his schoolbooks, and names them Fluffy. Join us as we watch Despereaux in this story of three unlikely heroes - a misfit mouse who prefers reading books to eating them, an unhappy rat who schemes to leave the darkness of the dungeon, and a bumbling servant girl with cauliflower ears - all of whose fates are intertwined with that of the princess of the castle in which they live.
Hi everyone. We hope you had a good holiday and wish everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2009.
As of January, 2009 we will be changing our advertising format somewhat. As you all know, the Ambridge Family Theatre website has been up and in use for the past year. Over that time, we've had more and more people visiting the site, subscribing to the feed, and signing up for email updates.
During the same period, it appears that fewer and fewer people have used the newspaper to find out what the theatre will be presenting that week. As a result, we have decided to stop advertising in the newspaper effective January, 2009. With this change there will be three main ways to find out what we are showing each week.
The marquee of the theatre. Most of our patrons live in the Ambridge area and go by the theatre. Sunday nights we try to get the marquee changed to show what we will be showing the next weekend. We also try to keep a notice in the box office window showing the films we have booked.
The telephone. Our phone number is 724-251-9760. Again, we try to update the telephone message on Sunday evenings to tell what we will be showing the following week. Sometimes it may be a day or two later, but not usually. Occasionally something will happen to the phone and the message disappears. In those cases, please call our home at 724-774-4568 to let us know there is a problem and to find out the next weekend's movie.
This website and the email updates you can sign up for. I try to update it on Wednesday, with email notices going out Wednesday or Thursday to tell what we are showing that weekend. On the website's Coming Soon page we keep a list of the movies that we have booked for the future.
If you know anyone who has used the newspaper to find out what we are showing, please let them know that, even though our ad will not appear there, we are still open and showing films for your pleasure. Thank you for your patronage and dedication to the Ambridge Family Theatre.
The weekend of January 2, 2009 - January 4, 2009 we'll be presenting Twilight, starring Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. She never cared about fitting in with the other girls at her school.
When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets Edward Cullen.
Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands.He's immortal. Edward is a vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice.
To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them, Edward must fight to save Bella.
Twilight is a romance like we haven't seen, a romance about the love between a vampire and a mortal.
The week of December 26, 2008 - December 31, 2008 we'll be holding Bolt, the animated adventure starring John Travolta as the voice of Bolt and Miley Cyrus as the voice of Penny.
Bolt is a super dog who is the star of one of Hollywood's most popular TV shows.The problem is, Bolt has been raised on the set of the show and thinks his powers are real.
One day, Bolt is accidentally shipped from Hollywood to New York. With the help of an alley cat, Mittens, and an overweight hamster, Rhino, he has to make his way back home while coming to terms with th fact that he is an ordinary dog.
As is usual for the Christmas holiday, we will be open throughout the week, so you can come on down with the kids and have a good time during the Christmas school vacation. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we will be having a matinee at 1:10PM, and an evening show at 7:10PM. New Year's Day we will be closed.
The weekend of December 19, 2008 - December 21, 2008 we'll be kicking the Christmas season off with Bolt, the animated adventure starring John Travolta as the voice of Bolt and Miley Cyrus as the voice of Penny.
