Sundance Square outdoor movie series starts June 12 in Fort Worth

by John P. Meyer

Kicking off the second annual “Stars under the Stars” movie series at Sundance Square in Fort Worth will be a free screening of Hairspray, the movie based on the broadway musical based on John Waters' campy original film. (Pause for breath). The date: Thurs., June 12.

The show - to be projected on a 50 x 40 ft. outdoor screen - starts at dusk in the Chisholm Trail parking lot (at Fourth & Main St.); gates will open at 7 p.m. if you want to get there early and grab a prime viewing locality. All Sundance Square lots and garages (it says here) will be open for free parking after 5 p.m.

No coolers are allowed, but beverages (and food!) will be hawked by on-premises vendors for your potential partaking pleasure. Movie-goers are encouraged to bring their own folding chairs or blankets for sitting purposes.

Upcoming shows on the “Stars under the Stars” screening agenda include Ghostbusters on June 19; Gremlins on June 26; Apollo 13 on July 3; and Spiderman on July 10.

Sounds like a fun, free time at the movies.
