Skywarrior Theater begins Thursday night movies

The Skywarrior Theater on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island will begin showing movies on Thursday nights, starting Oct. 6.

The move is in response to guest feedback via ICE (customer) surveys and Quality of Life Council comments, according to Morale, Welfare and Recreation business activities manager Deborah Brockway.

“The current plan is to test the Thursday market through the end of the year, monitor attendance and adjust accordingly,” said Brockway. “The target audience on Thursdays is most likely the single sailor so they’ll program movies to appeal to that market.”

The first Thursday movie to be shown is “Our Idiot Brother,” which is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Oct. 6. Cost for Thursday night movies is $2 for adults, $1 for youth ages 6 to 11.

The change does not affect movies normally scheduled each Friday through Sunday.

The Skywarrior Theater is home to the Navy’s first digital projector with 3-D capabilities. Call 257-5537 for information.
