March 8, 2008 5:33pm - We regret to announce that the power supply for the lamphouse went out Friday evening, I haven't been able to get it repaired, and won't be able to get parts for it until the new week begins. As a result, we will be closed Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th, 2008. We should be able to be back on the screen next weekend, and will be trying to keep The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything for an extra week. As soon as I have more information, I will send out an update. Thank you for your patience and for choosing to frequent the Ambridge Family Theatre.

February 11, 2008 5:31am - The Ambridge Family Theatre is one of only three independent movie houses operating in the greater Pittsburgh area. The other two are The Oaks in Oakmont and the Hollywood Theater in Dormont. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review had an article on these, and other independent theatres that may be re-opening in the Pittsburgh area on Sunday, February 10, 2008. You can read it at Cinema fans preserve local old-school movie houses.

September 25, 2007 11:07am - We're happy. We're proud. We finally have Ambridge Family Theatre T-shirts and mugs available for purchase. The T-shirts are grey, and come in adult small, large, and extra large sizes. They are $15.00 each. The mugs are extra large, perfect for that large cup of hot chocolate or homemade cappucino. They are $10.00 each. Both the T-shirts and the mugs are available at the theatre every weekend. Check them out the next time you come in.

July 11, 2007 1:32pm - As of July 13, 2007, evening ticket prices will be changed to $5.00 per person. Matinee prices will remain at $4.00 per person, and all concession prices will remain at their current level. All children under the age of three will continue to be free. To all our long time and customers and friends, we thank you. You are the heart of the Ambridge Family Theatre. Over the years Glenda has been able to gradually speed up the rate at which we are able to get films. When we first took over the threatre, it took us 6 - 8 weeks to get a film. Now we get most films in 2 - 5 weeks, and were even able to open the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie (and great fun it was. :-) ). We hope having prices at this level will allow us to get some movies even more quickly for you. Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you, and serving you, for years to come.

May 23, 2007 6:07pm - Some of our local regulars decided it would be fun to help us promote our upcoming presentation of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie by dressing the parts and wending their way through the crowds giving away pirates' gold. The result - Captain Zack and the Pirates of Ambridge. The pirate crew included

• Zack Pickens as Captain Jack Sparrow
• Nick Mixter as William Turner
• Mike Savage as Mr. Gibbs
• Julien Critchfield as Iron Billy
• Joe Amoroso as Critchen
• William Henry
• Wyatt Austin
• Lauren Ott
• Chris Blaho
• Karen Henry

Thank you. I love our customers! This shows why I enjoy the running the theatre.
