Screenland Armour offers a lot

Why it’s so special to me

Going to the movies is always a treat, especially when you have an absolute favorite theater to go to. 

Although it isn’t the closest theater to me, I will still always drive a few extra miles to visit the Screenland Armour Theatre because of its amazing environment, great selection of movies, and fun interactive events.

Friday Night Frights and “Rocky Horror Picture Show” viewings at the Screenland are my all time favorite, I’ve never been to a theater with such a fun audience. Every time I go to see “Rocky Horror” I am so impressed by the energy of the crowd and their passion for the movie. The mock cast [Kansas City Junior Chamber of Commerce] performing in front of the screen gets me hyped every time.

I always see people dressing up for the movie they are going to see, it’s common to see people dressed as their favorite characters from the movie.

When “Barbie” came out there were lots of people dressed up and the theater was always decorated for the most popular movie playing at the time, it’s so festive!

A regular ticket at the Screenland costs $13, at matinee price it’s $8. Screenland does outdoor movies for $5 on a projector in the side parking lot; and I personally love these prices compared to other theaters.

This place means so much to me as someone who loves to socialize and watch good movies. I will always recommend the Screenland to anyone who hasn’t been because it really is an awesome experience.
