Chapel Hill’s Varsity Theatre to reopen Thanksgiving weekend
11 Nov
It’s been a little over four months since the owners of the Varsity Theatre announced they were shuttering the Franklin Street staple. Residents were sad to see the landmark close, lamenting that downtown was officially without a movie theater. The Carolina Theatre closed back in 2005.
But the Varsity Theatre won reprieve. New owners announced late last month that they plan to show classic and recently released movies for $3. (Photo by @dgtlpapercuts)
So when will it open and what will be the first movie shown?
It will reopen on Nov. 27 with an airing of “The Wizard of Oz” reports the News & Observer. The day after Thanksgiving is always a big movie day, so hopefully residents will pack the theater and give it a nice welcome back showing.
Will you go?
