On February 1, the Michigan Theater kicked off a world cinema film series, which will continue on Monday nights at 7 p.m. through April 19.

To further encourage a sense of adventure, the theater is offering prizes to those who attend multiple films in the series. Every moviegoer will be issued a passport that will be stamped each time he or she attends a film in the series. Four stamps entitle the holder to a free medium bucket of popcorn and a medium beverage. Seven stamps entitle the holder to 2 free “good anytime” movie passes. Ten stamps entitle the holder to receive a free “Night Out” package: 2 movie passes, a large bucket of popcorn and 2 medium beverages. Tickets are $9 for adults, and $7 for students, seniors and veterans. Individual tickets are available in advance at TicketWeb and at the box office the night of the event. (Groups of 10 or more can obtain a special $6 ticket price. Contact Drew Waller at 734-668-8397 ext. 25 or dwaller@michtheater.org.)
