Hey.. Look forward to heading out your way. Let's pack the house... Happy 4th. We are the headliner for the 4th out here and 6,000 people have got tickets to the outdoor event. We can't wait to blow it out in NE. See ya soon,
Thanks for helping us put on the AMEN release show last night! I had a grand time. For those that missed it, tracks from the new album are now streaming on my profile.
Katie, We love it when people tell us they wait for movies to get to the GRAND. Sorry, again, about "Slumdog". But, I watched "Benjamin Button" tonight and was definitely impressed. I liked it way more than I thought I would. Hope the same for you. And, we had a really good turn out, for it! Yes, we will work extra hard on getting "Slumdog Millionaire".
I must admit that I am a bit disappointed that Slumdog isn't going to be at the Grand this this weekend, but I am still going to come out and see Benjamin Button because I was actually waiting to see it at the Grand. Looking forward to it. Will you guys be eventually getting Slumdog? Thanks for everything, Katie
First, the Grand wants to thank all of our patrons for making what we're doing at the "All Volunteer Grand Theatre" a success!! People are always telling us how happy they are with us....The thing is, really, we couldn't be more pleased with the way the community has embraced the GRAND as their own!!! It really is YOUR THEATRE!! Now, here's the deal. We had confirmation on "Slumdog Millionaire" but it was canceled. The "first run" theaters always have first chance at a movie. We are a "second run" theatre. It looked as though none were going to run "Slumdog". Then, today, it was picked up by a local "first run" theater.
