4 Special programs Summer 2015 H Classic Thursdays The Hiway Theater has a new year-round film series: Classic Thursdays. We will have a classic film every other Thursday night. Dates subject to change. Due to the fact that we are a single screen theater, we occasionally must postpone special classic screenings. This happens due to unavoidable contractual obligations with our distributors. Any change will be announced at least a week ahead of time, and will result in pushing the date forward or back one week. So before you come, please check our website or hotline for confirmation. Why? Because that s how the movie biz works. Believe us, we wouldn t have this subject to change policy if we didn t have to. (If we made the rules, we d show 3 or 4 different films every week!) But that s not how the movie business works, so we must be flexible in programing these special titles. All things considered, this is the best way to bring you the most varied programming possible. Stay up to date by . The best way to stay aware of everything happening at the Hiway is to get our weekly . You can sign up right from our website.
