Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the Campus Theater is so delightful…
With the temperature dramatically dropping and the Oscars coming up at the end of this month, February is the perfect time to take advantage of the Campus Theater in downtown Lewisburg. The Theater offers a diverse slew of movies each month, many of which have been nominated for an Oscar. The line-up changes weekly so there is always something new to see and to keep you coming back to this nostalgic downtown find. So grab your BU ID, some popcorn, a bottle of wine if you’re of age (for BYOB Nite on Fridays and Saturdays) and enjoy the amazing films offered this month! Then, don’t forget to attend the Red Carpet Awards Party at 6:00 and a live screening of the 88th Annual Academy Awards at 8:00 on February 28th.
