National Theatre to present free movie on Feb. 17
Breckenridge’s National Theatre will present “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17. The movie will be free for attendees.
Although entrance to the movie will be free, those attending may want to bring some money for the snack bar.
The movie is part of the Hunger Games film series and is a prequel to the 2012 Hunger Games movie. It takes place 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the President of Panem.
The National Theatre is a restored, historic theater located at 108 E. Walker St.
In addition to offering the movie screening next week, the National Theatre will have two more performances in its 2023-24 Performance Series. Country and Americana singer Jarrod Morris will perform at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 8. Advance tickets will cost $20 for adults and $10 for students (age 17 and younger); click here to purchase tickets online.
Then, on April 26, country singer/songwriter Brett Taylor and some of his songwriting friends will perform. Tickets will go on sale March 1.
