Anniversary Film Series: Road Trips & Amazing Journeys February 14, 2008

In February, Hiway Theatre, located at 212 Old York Road in Jenkintown, will celebrate the one-year anniversary of the historic theatre’s reopening with a new film series. Guided by the theme, Road Trips and Amazing Journeys, the upcoming series will run from February 15th through February 21st.

Built in 1913, the one-screen movie house can trace its history to the silent film era. Now an important cultural landmark for the Montgomery County and Greater Philadelphia region, the Hiway Theatre operates as a nonprofit member-supported community theatre, offering a unique cinematic experience that enlivens the human spirit, fosters dialogue and promotes learning in an unparalleled environment. For information on upcoming events and the history of the theatre, visit www.hiwaytheatre.org or call (215) 886-9800.

Road Trips and Amazing Journeys will include independent and studio films, as well as repertory selections, to be announced in the coming weeks. Highlighting documentary and fiction features, film narratives include tales of travel, both physical and metaphysical, personal journeys of the heart and spirit, and more. The series will also feature specialized programming for youth: specifically, selections for tweens and teens.
