Star Theater hosting free movie, concert

A true gem of downtown Whitehall, the Star Theater has been an integral part of the community for decades. Starting this Friday the theater will be thanking its loyal base of customers with a free admission movie. The theater is also hosting a free of charge concert September 23.

The movie will be the family favorite "Shrek", which will run September 22 to 25. The show times are September 22 at 7:30, September 23 at 2 p.m., September 24 at 2 and 7 p.m. and September 25 at 7 p.m.

The September 23 concert at 7 p.m. will feature Cameron Blake, Valerie Vache, and local artist David Parker.

Theater manager Colton Anderson said he was approached about the concert and decided to donate the space free of charge. He said he decided on the free movie, which he called one of the best-animated movies ever made, as a great way to start the fall season. Anderson said both Blake and Vache are talented well-trained musicians so it should be a good concert.
