WHITEVILLE — They’re lean, green and on the screen! Don’t miss seeing heroes in a half shell when the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences at Whiteville presents “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” on Friday, May 19 at 8 p.m. The event is free, although donations are accepted.
Presented in partnership with the Columbus County Arts Council, the “Movies on Madison: Summer Cinema Series” shows outdoor, family friendly movies every third Friday of the month from May through September.
Kicking off the series is “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (1990). Through contact with a mysterious ooze, four turtles in the sewers of New York mutate into intelligent pizza-loving humanoids – Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo. They are mentored in the art of ninja combat by the wise rat Splinter and when the evil Shredder attempts to take over the world, the turtles set out to stop him.
The museum lawn opens at 7 p.m., and the movie starts at dusk. Come early and enjoy educational activities for kids. This free, 93-minute film is rated PG. Refreshments will be available for purchase. This is a family-friendly event: no pets, coolers, alcohol or smoking permitted.
