Cinema Tuesdays Returns This Summer

Texas Public Radio's 10th Anniversary Cinema Tuesdays series is now underway at the Santikos Bijou Cinema Bistro.  We hope you enjoy this season's schedule of films, featuring classic Hollywood fare, foreign films, and a few surprises.  Blu-rays and big screens are a good way to see a movie at home, but to really experience it, there’s nothing like sharing a good movie with friends and family.  So come on out each Tuesday, as we give away some great door prizes, show our film, and have a lot of fun!  As with previous TPR Cinema events, show time is 7:30 each night.

Suggested donations of $10 for members and $12 for non-members will get you in for these one-time only showings! 

To make reservations by donation in advance, use our secure form below, or call 614-8977, or 1-800-622-8977, during regular business hours.  All proceeds from the Cinema Tuesdays series benefit Texas Public Radio.

Finally, don’t forget to sign up for the Cinema Tuesdays newsletter to find out more about the season and other movie-related news, and subscribe to the TPR Cinema podcast for reviews, interviews, and more, delivered to your desktop for download to a portable mp3 player.  The TPRCinema Twitter feed also offers a way to stay on top of cool movie news on a daily basis.

We look forward to seeing you at the movies this summer!
