Movies Under the Stars in Kansas City

6/1/2009 12:00:00 AM

    What could be more fun than a Summer Movie and a box of popcorn? Watching under the stars of course! Trade in stadium seating for a bit of novelty this summer and take in a movie under the open sky.
    This summer, enjoy a Free Movie at one of several area locations, or enjoy in the nearly extinct novelty of the Drive-In Theater!
    Make it a family night and treat the kids to an evening they won't forget!
