theaters

In 2024, Minnesota spent $9.62 per capita on public funding for the arts, making us the #1 ranked state in public arts spending. That’s because Minnesotans have long valued the arts as part of a vibrant, thriving community, and nowhere is that commitment more observable than in the quality, breath, and depth of Minnesota’s theatrical landscape.

Autumn turns to winter and that means many of us will spend more time indoors. Jake Juliot from Explore Minnesota joined me on WJON to talk about theater options and shows available in the state over the next few months.

Every movie, showing, and format will be four bucks.

WJON is taking a look at former St. Cloud movie theaters. I am joined by Steve Penick and John Decker from the Stearns History Museum. The Eastman Theater was located at 21 2nd street south in St. Cloud. It opened in 1940, had seating of 464, it closed in 1967 and was since demolished.

Marcus Theaters is bringing some new life back to your old favorite Disney movies!

With rain moving in for Saturday, this is a good weekend to head to the theater and check out some of the new movies opening up. This weekend there seems to be something for everyone. Check out the trailers for two of this weekend's films and catch John Clark at 5:45 this afternoon for his reviews!
