The above ticket prices are subject to change. THANK YOU MEMBERS! Your membership is the foundation of the theater s success. Without your membership support, we would not exist. Thank you for being a member. Contact us with your feedback or questions at x115 or us at comments@renewtheaters.org Why the ticket increase? Because our film distributors require it. Each movie we screen is supplied by a film distributor. They charge us about half of the ticket price. However, our prices have been so low that they have been adding a surcharge to our rental fees. We first announced this anticipated change almost a year ago. We delayed the change as long as we could, but it is finally time to implement it. *Affiliated Theater Members All members of our theater are entitled to members tickets at all Renew Theaters (Ambler, County, Garden, and Hiway), as well as at participating Art House Theaters nationwide.

3 MAIN ATTRACTIONS Main Attractions What main films will play at the Hiway? Predicting in advance what films will play at our beloved one-screen Hiway is the biggest challenge that we face.

On Monday, we decide what main film will play starting that Friday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the showtimes for the upcoming week and then update our website and telephone hotline. We also send out a weekly (sign up at our website). Sometimes, we book a main film a few weeks in advance, which we post on our website. For our latest Main Attractions plans, visit: HiwayTheater.org. (Or call our Hotline at ) Darkest Hour UK - Joe Wright - 2 hr 5 min Gary Oldman steps into the imposing persona of Winston Churchill in this period drama from director Joe Wright. It s a stirring historical drama that ushers us into the back rooms and bunkers of British government at a pivotal time when the United Kingdom seemed on the brink of Nazi invasion and Churchill was thrust into the role of Prime Minister. Also starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Mendelsohn, and Lily James. Molly s Game USA - Aaron Sorkin - 2 hr 20 min Aaron Sorkin s directorial debut stars Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba in the story of Molly Bloom, proprietor of Hollywood s most exclusive high-stakes poker game. Sharp and witty writing and Sorkin s bold and precise direction are the perfect match for his larger-than-life heroine. The Post USA - Steven Spielberg Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep star in Steven Spielberg s latest historical thriller. Reminiscent of All the President s Men, the film follows Ben Bradlee and Kay Graham of The Washington Post in their challenge to the federal government for the right to publish the classified Pentagon Papers.
