Welcome… to Carolina Theatre. 🦖

Tonight, Carolina Theatre CLT and Rice Family Community Events proudly present something the scientific community specifically warned us about:

THE TYRANNOSAURUS REX.

And yes… we spared absolutely no expense and possibly skipped several safety meetings. 🤫

Flossie will be greeting guests before tonight’s screening of Jurassic Park, bringing prehistoric wonder, photo opportunities, and just a tiny amount of liability risk to Uptown Charlotte.

🗓️ TONIGHT, Thursday, May 21
🚪 Doors open at 6:00 PM
🎬 Jurassic Park starts at 7:00 PM
📍 Carolina Theatre
230 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28202

Come experience the film that made an entire generation afraid of ripples in water cups and children whispering “clever girl.”

Life finds a way… and tonight it found its way to Charlotte.
