The base theater will host a grand re-opening Jan. 18 with a free movie showing of The Water Horse, rated PG, at 7 p.m.

After closing for renovations in September, the interior of the theater was re-done using money won for the 2007 Commander-in-Chief's Annual Award for Installation Excellence to offer Gunfighters a more pleasurable movie-viewing experience.

Upgrades include a new screen, acoustic curtains installed on the side and back walls, an updated surround sound system, a refinished stage, improved snack bar, new lighting in the outer lobby and projection room, fresh paint, and 340 larger seats with cup holders.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. with special snack combinations available for purchase at the concession stand. Attendees will also have the opportunity to win free prizes before the show.

Tickets are not required, and seats are available on a first come, first serve basis.
