The collaboration between Kilwins of Frankfort, The Betsie Current, and The Garden Theater began back in October 2023 with a showing of Practical Magic (PG-13, 1998), starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as witch sisters.

Since then, we have shown 22 films (as of October 2025) and raised more than $6,300 for local nonprofits and charities through the Monthly Movie Club, showing “retro” movies from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s; additionally, we started a second club, Garden Classic Movies, in which we are showing films from the 1930s-1970s.
