The Lafon Performing Arts Center will serve up two family movie classics July 30 when it hosts the latest installment of its drive-in movie offerings.
Lafon Drive-In July will start at 7 p.m. and feature the movies Madagascar and Jurassic Park. The arts center is located at 275 Judge E. Dufresne Pkwy. in Luling.
“We are so excited to welcome everyone back to the center and start their season of creating memories with our first of three drive-in movie events,” Chris Aucoin-Melohn, director of the Lafon Center, said. “These family-friendly drive-ins have been a lasting hit since we began them two years ago. What a better way to spend the end of the summer than with your loved ones under the stars watching two fantastic movies.”
The night will kick off with Madagascar, which carries a PG rating. The movie is a 2005 computer-animated comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by DreamWorks Pictures that centers around a group of animals from the Central Park Zoo who find themselves stranded on the island of Madagascar.
After a brief intermission, Jurassic Park will be played.
Jurassic Park, rated PG-13, is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is the first installment in the Jurassic Park franchise and is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton.
The film is set on the fictional island of Isla Nublar, where wealthy businessman John Hammond and a team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of de-extinct dinosaurs. When industrial sabotage leads to a catastrophic shutdown of the park’s power facilities and security precautions, a small group of visitors and Hammond’s grandchildren struggle to survive and escape the perilous island.
