The Franklin Township Historical Society will sponsor the comedy Ma & Pa Kettle Go to Town, starring Acton-born actress Marjorie Main, at The Historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin, Indiana.
Join us on a trolley ride to Franklin on Saturday, July 20 to have lunch and see the film. Your event ticket includes the trolley ride to and from Franklin, film admission, movie popcorn and fountain drink, plus a booklet about Marjorie Main and a copy of From Indian Trails to Interstates, a short history of Franklin Township. Purchasers will later receive an email with menu options for lunch, which you will order in advance and then pay for when the food is delivered to you that day. (Your lunch purchase and additional theatre concessions are not included in event ticket.)
Tickets are $32 per person and MUST be purchased in advance. Due to trolley size, ticket quantities are strictly limited. Purchase tickets here.
Those attending should meet at the Meeting House (6510 S. Franklin Rd.) at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 20. The trolley will not wait for late arrivals.
The Historic Artcraft Theatre was built in 1922 as a combination silent film theatre and Vaudeville house. Now owned by nonprofit historic preservation organization Franklin Heritage, Inc., the theatre has been restored to its original Art Deco glory and features original neon fixtures, mosaic tiled floors, lobby murals, and more. Proceeds from tickets and concession sales go to support theatre restoration, as well as the preservation of other historic structures in Franklin and the surrounding area.
