Theaters around Wichita have plans to show classic (and newer) holiday movies this season. Immerse yourself in some festive flicks on the big screen with these fun movie events around town!
(FYI, The Orpheum usually has a BOGO sale on its Anniversary Film Series around this time of year. Great gift idea for someone who loves classic movies.)
