The Michigan Theater will once again recognize the contributions to our country by members of the U.S. military throughout Memorial Day weekend — Friday, May 27, through Monday, May 30 — when both military veterans and active personnel with ID will be admitted free to all film screenings at the theater.

The films showing Memorial Day weekend include “Cave of Forgotten Dreams,” presented in 3-D from director Werner Herzog, which documents the exclusive expedition of Chauvet Cave in France. This film journey reveals artwork from human hands dating back over 30,000 years ago. (90 minutes, rated G.)

“The Beaver,” from two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster, follows the story of Walter Black (played by two-time Academy Award winner Mel Gibson) who looks to rebuild and redeem his life through the help of a hand puppet. (100 minutes, rated PG-13.)

For daily show times and a complete schedule, please visit the Theater’s website at www.michtheater.org.

In addition, U.S. veterans and servicemen and servicewomen are also eligible for a discounted ticket price of $7 for regular Michigan Theater-sponsored movies all year round. This program is made possible by a generous grant from the Merton & Regina Allen Memorial Fund. The primary purpose of the fund, established through the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, is “to support programming, events and special initiatives for United States Armed Forces veterans, with preference to disabled veterans and those who served in action, at the Michigan Theater (a Code Section 501(c)(3) organization).”
