Love will definitely be in the air this Valentine season at The Beltonian Theatre.
The theater, tucked away in downtown Belton, has a full slate of romantic movies and date-night fun throughout February.
“We do our best to create a fun and memorable night out,” said Zechariah Baker, owner of the theater. “Our food is high quality, our wine and beer is locally sourced and our prices are affordable. That makes a perfect date-night experience for the young, the old and couples in between.”
“We have some classic movies this February that will make for great date nights,” Baker said. “We will be showing The Notebook from Jan. 29 through Feb. 4, and we will wrap up our Valentine’s offerings with The Princess Bride from Feb. 26 through March 3.”
“During The Princess Bride, we will offer kits that include plastic swords so you can sword fight along with the movie,” he said.
While Valentine’s is usually associated with romance and couples, daughters and their dads also receive special treatment at The Beltonian.
“You bet they do,” Baker said with a grin. “For the fifth year, we will be having our Daddy-Daughter Date Night. When we started this, it was one night, and it was an immediate hit. This year, it’s been expanded to two full weekends.
Daddy-Daughter Date Night will be held at 6 p.m. on Feb. 8, 9, 15 and 16, and at 11 a.m., 3 p.m. an 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 10 and 17. Tickets are $25.99 per person and can be purchased at TheBeltonianTheatre.com.
“This event sells out in advance, so I recommend buying tickets soon,” he said. “We are partnering with Chick-fil-A, and admission includes nugget dinners, drinks, desserts, popcorn, a photo booth, crafts that daughters can make for Dad, and more.”
The movie will be Frozen, and candy, additional drinks and other items will be available for purchase.
The theater will host its sixth annual Valentine’s Day Date Night on Feb. 13 and 14, and this will be a full night of fun and romance.
“The doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and we will have a concert featuring live music by Mark Warren at 6 p.m.,” Baker said. “Mark is a wonderful Central Texas performer who sounds a bit like Justin Timberlake. He’s really good — he has performed at all of our Date Night celebrations.”
“A three-course gourmet meal prepared by the Pig & Pickle Food Truck will be delivered to your seats at 6:30 p.m., and we will show the 1951 version of An American in Paris at 8 (p.m.). It’s going to be a one-stop full service date night — we will offer service-to-your-seat all night long.”
In addition, Date Night will include bottomless champagne and fountain drinks, popcorn and props for the movie.
Tickets are available at the theater website for $175 per couple.
In addition to our Daddy-Daughter Date Night and Valentine’s Day Date Night packages, the theater will be offering half-price movies every Tuesday during February.
“Our classic movies are usually $5 per person, but we are cutting that to $2.50 on Tuesday nights,” Baker added.
“We pride ourselves on being affordable. A night out shouldn’t break the bank.”
