- Feb 19, 2015
Civic Theatre of Allentown will screen four films as part of its Science on Screen series - the only educational film series of its kind in the Lehigh Valley. The scheduled films include 'A Birder's Guide to Everything' on February 24, 'Gorillas on the Mist' on March 16, 'Field of Dreams' on April 6, and 'The Goonies' on May 5. The Da Vinci Science Center will provide a hands-on activity half an hour before each film, and a notable academic figure will speak on current scientific research or technological advances that relate to the science represented in the film. Civic Theatre of Allentown is the only theatre in Pennsylvania to receive a grant to present this innovative Science on Screen program. This is the second time Civic is presenting the series. All screenings will be held at Civic's historic Nineteenth Street Theatre at 527 N. 19th Street in Allentown. Please call the box office or visit www.CivicTheatre.com for more information.
