SPECIAL EVENT August 5 at 8:45pm
Drive in Movie
the sandlot
In 1985 the Starlite Drive-In movies closed after decades of entertaining Central Minnesota residents and guests. It sat on Nokomis in Alexandria where Casey’s Amusement and Hilltop Lumber now do business. The drive-in is back at Theatre L’Homme Dieu for one showing only: Tuesday, August 5 at 8:45 PM. See the 1993 coming-of-age sports classic, THE SANDLOT.
Set in 1962, a group of fifth graders engage in pickup games of baseball on a neighborhood sandlot, where they encounter a giant mastiff called “The Beast,” destroy a ball signed by Babe Ruth, and are befriended by a blind former baseball star (played by James Earl Jones).
Its most famous line is “You’re killing me, Smalls!” referring to outfielder Scotty Smalls, who went on to become a Dodger sportscaster.
Many refer to The Sandlot as a summer version of A Christmas Story. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and sit under the stars to watch this 100-minute classic on a 31- foot high movie screen with surround sound.
Tickets are $8.50 and can be reserved at online or call the box office. 320-846-3150
