2015 Gem Theatre $1.00 Summer Movie Schedule

2015 Gem Theatre $1.00 Summer Movies
The Gem Theatre, located at 111 West 1st Street in Kannapolis, North Carolina, offers a movie camp each summer while school is out. These discounted $1.00 movies are offered on Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. If you have a group of 15 or more and would like discounted concessions, place your order at the Gem Theatre before 5:00 p.m. on Monday before the show.

If you are a history buff, you'll love the fact that this theatre is one of America's oldest single-screen theatres. It opened in 1936, was gutted by a fire and rebuilt. The concession stand was used to distribute ration coupons during World War II, and visitors can see a portion of the stage that was used by entertainers like Fred Kirby and Roy Rogers and Trigger years ago when traveling stage shows were common before movies were shown. Visitors can sit below or head upstairs to enjoy the show from a large balcony – my kids absolutely love the balcony!

Here are the 2015 dates and movies featured in the $1.00 movie camp program at the Gem:

June 16
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water
