An impressive difference, huh? Here are a few more highlights from the night...
There was a steel drum band playing at the entrance when we arrived

People from the St. Kitts government gave speeches, and Miss St. Kitts sang the national anthem. Here is Cory pretending to give a speech as well

To celebrate the ribbon cutting we had free popcorn and drinks, and we could choose from 6 movies to watch; we saw Mamma Mia... with no subtitles or random intermissions like the old theater!
It was awesome...can't wait to go back!

That is awesome. We take for granted things like that here in the States. I remember the first time I set foot in a grocery store on Curacao after being in Venezuela for a year. It was heaven. That must have been fun to be VIP's at the opening ceremonies.
wow!! i can't believe they have a new theater. i'm almost going to miss the old one if i ever go back, crazy!
nice job with the blog, i haven't followed it much but it's great to see some updates from there, which is why i found it to begin with. good luck with finishing up down there, and enjoy it while you still can, you'll miss it later!
Great pictures. I can see how this theatre will be popular.
Can't wait to check it out.
Love your Blog too. :)
