No movie theater in town? The Town of Wake Forest and Wake Forest Baptist Church are providing a remedy.
First there was First Friday Flix, the free movies at the Renaissance Centre on Brooks Street, and now comes Fourth Friday Flix, free movies which will be shown at the Alston-Massenburg Centre on Taylor Street.
This second helping of Hollywood is made possible by a partnership between the town, which supplies the movies, and Wake Forest Baptist Church, which will provide free refreshments at Fourth Friday Flix.
Because of the terms and conditions in the agreement with the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation, the Alston-Massenburg Center cannot make public the title of each month’s film. But you may recognize it from this description of the May 23 movie – it is a family-friendly 3D computer-animated comedy made in 2013, the sequel to a 2010 animated film.
“Gravity” was shown at the Renaissance Centre on May 2, and “42,” the film biography of Jackie Robinson, will be shown on June 6.
Call the Alston-Massenburg Center at 919-554-6189 for more information about Fourth Friday Flix—you will probably be told the name of the movie – and the other events it hosts.
