Lorain International Parade

We participated in the Lorain International Parade. First of all, thanks to Brittany Chapman for saying, at the beginningo of the summer, "Hey! We need to be in the parade!" And thanks to Amanda Rubino and Stephanie Cherpak for the decorations and dressing all of the princesses up. And of course, thanks to Suzanne Tansey for the tank. No, really she has a nice SUV and we got to decorated it. As you can see from the pictures and the slideshow, the Palace Princesses were a big hit! They are already scheming as to what they are going to do next year.

Graduations and Recognitions

Since 1981, Brookside High School has been graduating from the Lorain Palace Theater stage. Since then, Clearview High School and the Lorain County JVS have also started doing their graduation and recognition ceremonies at the Lorain Palace Theater. The theater takes the graduation ceremony to a higher level than when it is held on a football field or in a gym-a-cafe-torium on hard bleacher seats. Of course, it also helps to be inside and climate controlled (air conditioning). The students from Brookside and Clearview sit on the stage, where they are all visible to their parents and family.














Thanks to the Lorain Police, who block off Braodway so that graduates and their families can gather for photos after the ceremony.

Clearview and Brookside present slideshows before or during the ceremony to show the growth of the graduates.

79th Annual Lorain Community Memorial Service

Sponsored by the Lorain Memorial Association, the 79th Annual Lorain Community Memorial Service took place at the Lorain Palace Theater, Sunday, May 30th, at 2:00 p.m., under the direction of Jane Baran, president of the Lorain Memorial Association. This event has been taking place here, at the Lorain Palace Theater for well over 30 years. It has been an honor for us to have them here. It is probably one of the nicest memorial services in northern Ohio. The part that really gets to everybody is the "Roll Call of the Departed." The best summation was by the Honorable Mayor Anthony Krasienko, of Lorain, when he cited that the opportunity for our freedoms comes soley from our veterans and the young men and women currently serving this country. The Memorial Service is a one-hour program. I encourage everyone to take the time to come and honor the vets with us next year!

Lorain County JVS THANK YOU

New stairs on the front of the stage THANKS TO LORAIN COUNTY JVS.

"Wow! These are fantastic! As you can see, they have lights on every step. I'm about 6' 5", and the handrails are comfortable for me! So, you can just imagine how comfortable they will be for everyone who needs to go up and down from the stage during a show or during an event here at the theater. Thank you very much Lorain County JVS!"

-John Handyside

By the way, the Lorain County JVS has their senior recognition here at the theater, and we're very glad to have them. If you're not familiar with the Lorain County JVS, check them out! They're great!

Theatre Etiquette

If you have been to a movie at the Lorain Palace Theater recently, you may have noticed a new addition to the pre-movie entertainment. We now have a short, silent film parody that demonstrates proper theater etiquette. Starring in the two and a half minute film, the staff of the Lorain Palace Theater kindly reminds guests to turn off their cell phones, take crying babies to the lobby, and keep their feet off the seats, among other things. And, of course, Mr. Handyside reminds guests to enjoooooyyyy the movie!

Sherk Forever After Open's At The Lorain Palace Theater Friday May 21 7PM

Movie: Shrek Forever After

Time: 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

Price: $4.00 All Ages
Rating: PG for Mild action, some rude humor and brief language.

Runtime:1 hour 33 minutes

After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess, and saving your in-laws’ kingdom, what’s an ogre to do? Well, if you’re Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What’s happened to this ogre’s roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a “real ogre,” Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king, and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all he’s done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world, and reclaiming his one True Love.
