2. Lumina Theater

      On any night, for entertainment, I can often be found at this location with friends. Lumina Theater, the on campus movie theater open to all students and the public, is located in the Fisher Student Center. The entrance of the theater is located beside Sharky's Box Office. At the box office students or guests can acquire tickets and concessions. During the weeknights, tickets for showings are free of charge for the student body and non-students. While for weekend showings, tickets can be purchased by students for two dollars on Friday nights, and only one dollar on Saturday. Non-Student viewers are charged $4.00 all weekend. The theater seats 333 individuals, including spaces reserved for handicapped views, ensuring a pleasurable viewing experience for any whom wish to attend!

         On the wall besides Sharky's box office, shown above, are advertisements for the upcoming shows being played for the week. The Association for Campus Entertainment hosts and plans the showings in the Lumina Theater over the weekends and features great titles, such as: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, 22 Jump Street, and Beetlejuice, which was recently shown during a festive mini-marathon over Halloween weekend.

        Lumina Theater became a special location on the UNCW campus to myself recently when a short film, which I was the cinematographer for, was featured on the big screen. I had been part of making the short film, Sharp Chameleons, for a film competition within the film club on campus, known as The Flicker Film Society. Flicker co-sponsored a free Wednesday movie night presenting Monty Python and the Holy Grail where they were allotted a short amount of preview time before the film was screened. Sharp Chameleons ended up winning the film contest hosted by Flicker and as the prize the film was presented at Lumina Theater during that preview time! I went to the showing and was extremely happy with the positive feedback we received from the audience.
