The Byrd Theater is one of the grand movie theaters from the 1920s. Built in 1928, it has been a continuously running movie theater since that time. For several years now, movie prices have remained at $1.99 and the special showing of It’s a Wonderful Life is no exception.
Added to the holiday treat is the playing of the Mighty Wurlizter Organ that rises from the orchestra pit for the traditional Christmas carol sing-a-long. The organ plays every Saturday night before performances.
The movie, It’s a Wonderful Life was originally panned by critics but became a holiday classic because it was shown so often on television. Now it’s a must see favorite every Christmas season.
Merry Christmas you old building and loan.
