Gillioz Theatre and Moxie Cinema present The Winning Team on June 14, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Come see before the Springfield Cardinal's Baseball Game
The Gillioz Theatre, in partnership with The Moxie Cinema, is proud to present the perfect compliment to an evening at the baseball field, a films series devoted to our favorite summer pastime. The second film in this series is The Winning Team. With its World Premier happening at the Gillioz Theatre in 1952, this film has earned its place among the top classic films of all time.
Starring Doris Day and Ronald Regan, The Winning Team is based on a true story and chronicles the life of Grover Cleveland Alexander, a former blue collar worker who is recruited by the Philadelphia Nationals. "Alex the Great", as Alexander became known, becomes one of the most successful and decorated baseball players of the time, ultimately ending his career with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The first 50 kids will receive an array of amazing prizes from the Springfield Cardinals and Gillioz Theatre. All moviegoers will have the opportunity to meet Louie in our lobby prior to the film.
Suit up the whole family for the Gillioz Theatre team as we pay tribute to baseball with our showing of The Winning Team on Saturday, June 14th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are only $3 when you present a Springfield Cardinals ticket stub. General admission tickets are $5. To purchase tickets, please visit the Gillioz Theatre box office between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Monday-Friday or contact us at 417-863-9491.
