Gates open at 6 pm
Arrive early & check out the Opening Band on the Main Stage at 6:30pm
Headliner Band starts at 7:30 pm
Movie starts at dusk (approx. 8:45 pm)
Back by popular demand: Nationally touring headline comedian Chuck Roy will host the series courtesy of Comedy Works. If you've never seen Chuck, he is hysterical!!!
So there it is...every one of those are flicks that I would go see again, and if you've never seen a movie at Red Rocks, you should definitely go check one of these out. Their sound system is incredible, and they project the movie onto a HUGE screen that fills up almost the entire stage area. It's truly a fun experience to see a movie with 9,000 other folks.
Enjoy!
