The Lerner Theatre
The Lerner Theatre
Sunday, December 21 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm
FREE POPCORN FOR THE FIRST 300 GUESTS (Limit of 1 Box per Person) A 1946 beloved Christmas fantasy drama about George Bailey, a man who, frustrated with life, is shown by a guardian angel what life would have been like for his community if he had never been born. Run Time: 130 minutes Cast: James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Travers, Beulah Bondi Released: 1946 This is a free event. No tickets are required for entry. About The Lerner Loves You Series: The historic Lerner Theatre, a beloved centerpiece and cultural treasure of Downtown Elkhart, is thrilled to announce the finale of the beloved community series “The Lerner Loves You,” a free series designed to thank the community for its continued support and connection throughout the last 100 years. The series, made possible by the Elkhart County CVB, offers a heartfelt love note from The Lerner to the people it serves, and promises to showcase a number of upcoming events in film, live music, entertainment, and more in gratitude for the Elkhart community. “The Lerner Loves You” pays homage to The Lerner’s many years as a movie theatre known as “The ELCO.” The series has offered audiences the chance to enjoy films on the Lerner’s grand screen free of charge. The final film will be shown in the Lerner Theatre’s auditorium, inviting guests to experience the magic of cinema in a setting like no other. Seating is first-come, first-served. “Elkhart County CVB is proud to have been part of this milestone year for the Lerner,” said Jon Hunsberger, Executive Director of the Elkhart County Convention & Visitors Bureau. “It’s truly been an honor for us to sponsor the movie series as part of the Lerner 100th Celebration year. There’s no better way to wrap up this special milestone – and the year – than by enjoying a beloved classic together in such a treasured community space.” “The Lerner Theatre has given generations of families unforgettable memories—from live performances to movies that bring us together,” said Mayor Rod Roberson, City of Elkhart. “As we close out the Lerner 100 celebrations with a holiday classic film, we’re reminded that The Lerner has always been a place where all are welcome to share in the magic of the moment. It’s more than a theatre—it’s part of who we are as a community.” SPONSORED BY THE ELKHART COUNTY CVB
