COOL CLASSICS AT THE COLONY presents the Coen Brothers’ THE BIG LEBOWSKI. Wednesday, June 17th, and Thursday, June 18th at 8pm at the Colony Theater. Admission for this event is only $5.00.
With over 400 seats, there should be plenty of room for all you major dudes, duders, duderinos or whatever your preferred nomenclature. No info on whether or not a raffle is going on, like past years. Also, Colony is CASH ONLY, so come correct with some bills. Bring your brother Shamus.
The Colony Theater is located at 5438 Six Forks Road. Call 919-847-5677 or visit their website for more info.
I think the Colony is one the best kept secrets in Raleigh. Obviously the Rialto is super cool as well, but everyone knows about that place. I’ve been taking my girlfriend to Colony for awhile now, and we have attended several Cool Classics, most recently Total Recall. They have contests (I won a Remedy diner gift certificate once), good beer and wine, and a laid back vibe without all the madness of other multi-plex theatres. Cash only is a bit of a drag, but that’s really my only complaint. I’m glad you posted this Vince - Colony deserves some credit!
Would you rather they started processing credit cards (which would be terribly slow since they don’t have cash register computers and they would have to use dial-up credit card terminals) and roll the added cost of clearing credit cards to their admission and concession prices? I think you should enjoy the savings while you still can.
Yeah well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.
yea I see your point Micah…I’m not faulting Colony/Rialto for being cash only. I realize that the slight inconvenience is being passed on to the consumer. However, it does seem like every time I go to one of those theatres I overhear someone at the ticket window who either didn’t realize it was cash only or just forgot. Both Colony and Rialto are located within walking distance of ATMs so i don’t think its a major problem. I’ve never heard of anyone walking away simply b/c of that fact.
You’re out of your element.
