🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 #lovethis #pizza The Little Theatre!!!

An amalgamation of the most awesome things – movies, pizza, popcorn, and a dash of nostalgia -- The Pizza-Popcorn Club has arrived at The Little 🍕🍿

What is it? If you’re familiar with “BOOK IT!” — the popular program that rewards reading with personal pan pizzas — we’re taking that formula, and putting a Little twist on it.

How does it work? Guests can pick up a Pizza-Popcorn Club punch card in The Little’s lobbies, or at the box office. After purchasing tickets to six movies at The Little, they’re rewarded with a free bag (any size) of pizza-popcorn, and they’ll be entered to win one of several Little prize packs. Punch cards are valid from September 1 to December 31, 2021.

Pizza-Popcorn?! Oh yes! It’s a free bag of Little Popcorn of any size, with the special ingredient – secret pizza seasoning. This magical concession snack combines the deliciousness of a personal pan pizza, with the reliable greatness of Little Popcorn.

Naturally, The Little is launching this initiative with the finest cinematic pizza: “Mystic Pizza” screening Sept. 1 and “Slice” screening Oct. 6. These two cheese-and-sauce-laden flicks will be screened in The Little’s historic Theatre 1. Tickets are $5 per person for each film, plus Pizza-Popcorn punch cards and stickers will be available. Bonus: Pizza will be on sale in the lobby, so yes, this is a Little Pizza Party.

Full Pizza-Popcorn details and terms at thelittle.org/ppc.
