The Greenville Drive-In has flickered back to life

posted Aug 3, 2015

The theater has been showing classic films, and this coming weekend it's showing Ant-Man. It's also hosting special events, such as a screening of the documentary Going Attractions: The Definitive Story of the American Drive-In Movie on August 12. The doc's director, April Wright, will be there for a pre-show Q&A.

Something else that caught our eye: The Greenville Drive-In is also hosting video game nights in which people can play games on the theater's 80-foot screen. One of those nights is tonight (August 3) -- they'll be playing Bakugan Battle Brawlers.
