Heights Theater Screens Lorre Comedy Classic

On Monday, September 30, 2024, Peter Lorre fans in the area of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, can celebrate the 80th anniversary of Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) with a viewing of the classic murder-comedy on the big screen of the Heights Theater.

The 35mm print will be shown at 7:30 pm.

Tickets are $15 for all seats. Tickets may be purchased at the box office, as well as online through the cinema’s website. A nominal booking fee will be added to each ticket purchased online.

The Heights Theater is located at 3951 Central Avenue Northeast, at the corner of Central Avenue and Gould Avenue, in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, a northeast suburb of Minneapolis.

Free parking is available in the lot beside the Heights, as well as beside the Heights on the Dairy Queen side – but not directly behind the Heights. This lot belongs to the United Methodist Community Church. Cars parked in the church’s parking lot will be towed. More information about parking, as well as directions to the cinema, are available on the Heights website.

The historic Heights Theater was built in 1926 as a neighborhood movie house, as well as local stage and vaudeville theater. Surviving fires, a bombing, and a tornado, the cinema has been restored to its former glory – and may well have shown Arsenic and Old Lace during its original run in 1944.

Lorre fans can relive those days at the Heights on Monday, September 30, 2024 – including hot buttered popcorn with real butter!
