With the winter months in full swing, it can get difficult to keep the young ones (or the young at heart) entertained at home. We have been sharing fun ideas for indoor activities for the whole family! This week: Theaters

Pass the popcorn and set your phones to silent – the show’s about to start.

Whether you’re looking for a matinee of a box-office hit or a local production, ILLINOISouth has just the thing! We’ve all been to huge multiplexes, but what about something with a little more personality? Movie Houses like the Arcadia Theatre in Olney, the Globe Theater in Greenville, the Grand Theatre in Du Quoin, the Lincoln Theatre in Belleville, or the Lory in Highland are community treasures, each dating back to the early 1900s. These local landmarks have been updated with all of the features you’d expect in a modern cinema. Maybe a trip to the movies isn’t quite what you’re looking for. How about a production from one of the great theater troupes in the area? Upcoming shows include Forbidden Broadway: Greatest Hits at the Looking Glass Playhouse in Lebanon, Snoopy! The Musical presented by Clinton County Showcase at the Avon Theatre in Breese, and Hay Fever by the Monroe Actors Stage Company at the Historic Capitol Theatre in Waterloo. Check out some of the great local restaurants near your theater of choice to make an evening out of it…everyone loves dinner and a movie.  Sit back, relax and enjoy the show! -- Theaters mentioned in article: Arcadia Theatre 230 E Main St Olney, IL 62450 (618) 392-3000 Avon Theater - Clinton Co.
