The city is indeed full of corporate restaurants ready to deliver the same experience and recipes which are favorites around the country, but we would like to put a spotlight on the small proprietor ships that are doing things their way. This gives you a true sense of what a treat Dothan dining can be.

🩸🎬 Horror fans, get ready…

The Dothan Opera House is proud to present a special screening of Puppet Combo’s Night Shift—a slasher film shot right here in Dothan, Alabama!

Unaware that a serial killer is stalking clerks at 24-hour convenience stores, Debra reluctantly takes the night shift at her minimum-wage gas station job after her co-worker disappears. What begins as routine shelf-stocking and floor-sweeping quickly spirals into a heart-pounding descent into paranoia, dread, and blood-soaked madness as the killer closes in.

📍 Dothan Opera House
📅 Friday, October 31, 2025
⏰ Doors: 6:30 PM | Screening: 7:30 PM
👻 Costumes encouraged!
